Hi Glen,
I have used both Mouser.com and Justradios.com
Radiodaze.com also sells caps, but I haven't compared their prices.

Carl T,

You might also add Bob's Antique Radios & Electronics to the list. He has the most common types of poly caps, electrolytics, dial lamps, dial cord and AC power cords.

Glen, I offer this advice. I have bought from someone, don't recall, got good caps, but leads much shorter than others. Sometimes connecting points on old radios are far apart. So check specs if this would be a concern. I like the longest leads I can get. I don't always completely remove the old part. Yes I clip some parts and leave part of the old lead.

Prices are right and the dont stick it to you on shipping.

All,

For the unusual ratings on caps (including tuning) and resistors, don't forget:

Hi Glen,
I like to use Just Radios. You tell them what you have and Dave will put a kit together for that radio and include a good schematic. They also provide you with long leads on most of the caps. Shipping is reasonable. They offer resistors now. It generally runs just under 25 dollars per radio and you get several extra caps with the order. George T.

Just had to add to this because I was getting my caps through tubesandmore.com but being new to this I didn't know much better. Got my last batch from Radio Daze. Fantastic prices but limited selection. Did have everything I needed for that order. Great shipping price too. I'm on the other side of the country from them and I always received my orders usps 1st class in 2-3 days for $8.25 Give'em a try.

I use Radiodaze too. They seem to have good prices and shipping and are helpful.

They are also concerned with the quality of the parts they sell. I wanted to get some multi section electrolytics that were in their catalogue but they said they do not sell them anymore because of manufacturer quality problems.

Yes Mike they do care about quality. I just called them today about some Philco knobs I received and the one for the .225" shaft was really sloppy. They didn't ask me to return it they just said a replacement is on its way. Good outfit!!! Seems like you run into so many people these days that just don't care. Take your money and the heck with any kind of quality assurance.
