[Heathkit] Obtaining part

[Jim Shorney]

I use Mouser often. Prompt and reliable, and no minimum order. Digi-Key offers free shipping if you mail in your order with a check or money order (section II.6 of their Terms and Conditions). 

When replacing electrolytic caps I always use parts that are temperature rated 105C. They are not much more expensive and are more robust. I always order extras so I have some on hand, especially if I am near the price break point on the quantity I need.
