Hello everyone,

Thank you for  allowing me on this list.   My name's Jim and my call is 
W1JT.

I built many Heathkits during the 60's and 70's when I was a young man, 
what fun!

Now that I'm in my late 60's and slowing down a bit, I want to try to 
relive some of those experiences.

In order to do that, I've setup a nice workstation in my shack and I 
have outfitted it with tools that I'll need.

I just picked up an HP23A power supply at a local flea market that needs 
some TLC.

My plan is to totally dissemble it, clean up what's good, replace parts 
that need replacing and put her back into service.

So, my question is simple.

I need to find parts.   Basic parts.   Resistors (1/2 watt, 1 watt, 2 
watt etc), Capacitors, Terminal Strips, Controls...etc.

I've started my search online and have found Mouser, Jameson and a 
couple of others and they seem good but I'm just wondering
where you folks go.

If any of you have a favorite "go to" place for basic parts I'd really 
appreciate hearing about it!

Thanks

Jim W1JT
