Paper Capacitors Replacement
#21

+1 Ron

I was looking a a rather simple part put in the values and went down the list of "filters" and applied them and came up with like 5000 hits! 4950 had NOTHING to do with what I was looking for. It was like looking for 6" speaker cones on epay. Life is short forget them. Too many other sources that easier to order from and less expensive.

Have used the place up in CA before many yrs ago. I think with them you had the print their order form fill it out and mail it to them. They in return would give you a total and ship if all was amenable. The only reason I used them at the time was I need some 6000v caps for a electrostatic deflection TV set I was working on and they were the only source granted this was maybe 20yrs ago or more.

For the last number of years I've been using Sal and have been very happy! In some instances he's not the fastest, might take a week or so to get your product but have never had any mix ups or problems. I generally order in lots 25 to 50 pcs per value so it helps me keep a better eye on what I'm getting low on and can put it on the order list. 

I'm not in a hurry as I don't do service work for customers generally so a week is not that a big deal to get a set done. Not under the gun as some are. Do sell sets on occasion so I don't have to keep tripping over them.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
