[R-390] Caps

[Dave Maples]

All: I much agree.  Mouser is my default for electronic parts; replaced both
Digi-Key and Jameco.  In order, I search the following for general-purpose
parts:

Mouser
Digikey
Allied
Newark

For tubes and that kind of stuff, I go directly to Antique Electronics
Supply.

I'd be very interested in what search order other folks use.

As an aside, I did my R-390A with Orange Drops, and then discovered the
Illinois Capacitor axial-lead caps at www.tubesandmore.com.  I've recapped
four or five pieces of gear with them and have had great success.  That's my
first choice for axial-lead caps to replace the old paper caps; others
choose differently, of course.

Regards,
Dave WB4FUR
