Paper Capacitors Replacement
#12

When shopping for replacements for the paper condensers in radios I am working on I have used several sources. One I use often is:  https://www.justradios.com/    I have always had good luck with them, and the prices are reasonable, especially when buying in quantity. A source I have use most recently is:  https://hayseedhamfest.com/   They are a great source for condensers for restoring old "boat anchor" communications receivers, as well as for complete kits which include all the electrolytic and poly condensers to replace every paper and electrolytic condenser in the set. I haven't asked about it, but they do make custom replacement can type electrolytics, so it may pay to ask about special ones you need.
