[R-390] Orange drop capacitors1

[KR4HV]

I had heard a rumor that orange drops were being discontinued. When in
doubt, go to the horse's mouth.

I contacted CDE regarding our beloved orange drop caps.

My inquiry and their response is below.

Here are the product data sheets from CDE's web site, http://www.cde.com/ 
(nice site) as of today 13JUN2014.

Hi Walt,
We are not discontinuing at all! We purchased the line from SBE and are
continuing to build . Our lead times are extended right now because of
backlog and we had to stop production when we moved the equipment from VT to
Mexicali , but we have no intent to discontinue .
Many if our distributors have put in stock as well. ( see Cde.com for our
distributor list)
Thank you,
Holly

I would certainly hope not.  They are great capacitors for repairing and
restoring fine vacuum tube  equipment.
 
Can you either verify or dispel this rumor?
