A nice big piece of Pye

[Jon A.]

Ah, I was just looking at Panasonic film caps on Mouser. I've ordered a bunch of electrolytics from them - all 105 degree Nichicons so far - but just a couple of film caps. I've had to re-order a few caps a couple of times, mostly because I got ones too big to fit in a can, but the experience of course is invaluable.

Ugh, that non-stocked chestnut is so annoying, I often forget to check that box. It's usually when I get a lot of results that I remember to use it; it thins out the results big time.

There's one more thing that's throwing me; all paper caps I've looked at indicate their working voltage in DC, but I seriously doubt they're polarized, at least not like electrolytics.

This radio isn't mine but it will be restored to the same exacting standards as anything I own. I'll aim for affordability but there's no way I'm cheaping out. Besides, it isn't me who's paying for the parts.
