Mica caps have arrived! It only took a few days.
A word of praise for the folks at Just Radios. They go to the trouble of mailing orders from Buffalo, NY for their American customers, giving us a break on postage. Now that's customer service!  I hope you will join me in supporting the Cantelons by ordering as many capacitors as you can from them. (And of course I forgot to order any 0.1 uF film caps while I was ordering the micas.  )
So...sometime this weekend or New Year's Day, I shall replace the remaining mica caps in the 6T2.
