Cool site that "Just Radios".....but these electrolytics I'm looking for are much more pedestrian than the kits on there. I gotta find just a BUNCH of axial and can style 16v~50v caps of some pretty common values.

Will probly end up with maybe a couple of the different "assortments" I see on ebay for just the pedestrian stuff, and then trust the bigger more exotic values to either this Just Radios....or Mouser. I used to get alot of stuff from DigiKey, but they seem to be more geared to ordering things like a CASE of lead acid batteries and the like. Not very friendly to a regular Joe wanting one or two caps.

I don't really wanna play around at "liquidator" or "surplus" places (a few here in San Diego), for fear of just ending up with old tired caps "liberated" from other old equipement. I even DID see that Radio Shack still does sell some VERY small little "grab bags" of just some little electrolytics in their little drawers....but looks like they are just like a dozen SMALL caps in a little packet. Can't hurt to grab a few of those when I go there for other little things. I guess what I really need to get first is a good size organizer with like 50 drawers and to dust off my little label printer.
