[Test-Equipment] Source for 1% capacitors?

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

You might also buy a handful of good quality 10% rated 0.022 and 0.039 and 
test until you find three within 1% of what you need.  However, I would 
probably buy half the handfuls from one vendor and the other half from another 
as any given lot is going to tend to cluster to one side or the other of 
nominal.  And of course you have to already have a tester of adequate accuracy.
