[Heathkit] begging again

You could also use a digital C meter to find ones within 1% of the 
needed value among a collection of cheaper, wider-tolerance capacitors.

That seems odd...  Let's take as an example Newark.  I go to
http://www.newark.com/ and choose Passive Components, then Capacitors.
Then I have the list of types, I'll choose Film.  That brings up the
search fields for film capacitors.   I highlight 1% in the tolerance
category and hit "apply".    Then I choose the value of interest - I
think you were looking for a 0.01 uF... hit "apply".  That has narrowed
it down to two choices:  a 63v cap with axial leads for $1.68, and a
160v with radial leads for 58 cents.
