All: I am putting together a parts order for the pulling-VFO problem.  One
thing I have noticed in my manual is that the bypass caps are 600 V ceramic
disks, not 500 V units.  I have to confess that I have NEVER seen a 600 V
ceramic part.  Is this by chance a typo?

Also, the sources I have found for silver micas, particularly with the
tolerances being asked for (2% for one of them) are few and far between.
Right now Mouser doesn't carry them, Digi-Key has a small selection, and
Allied has a small selection, and nobody I have run into has a 2% silver
mica.  Any suggestions on where to turn these up?

Thanks for all the help.  I hope to finish this up the next time I go into
the unit.
