[Test-Equipment] 2uF 5% Capacitors?

[Bill Smith]

1. You can use a digital capacitance meter, bridge or resonant circuit to select a 2.0 MFD capacitor from a series of 2.2. MFD capacitors.  That might yield a better than 1% tolerance part.
2.  If you can find a quality 22 MFD capacitor, place it in series with a 2.2 MFD capacitor to make 2.0 MFD.  There are obviously many limitations in this approach.

  Anyone know where I can get a 2uF, 5% capacitor?  The closest I have 
  found is 10%.  I realize that 2.2uF is the standard size these days, but 
  I'm looking for an exact value/tolerance to replace a part in an HP3310B.

  Thanks,
