Into the fray with a 116X
#5

The radio appears to be working fine but I would hate to leave just one old cap in place. Anybody know where to get one of these (where it won't cost $15 postage for a $.50 cap Icon_smile )?

Thanks,
Larry

I would make out a parts list of all the caps and carbon resistors and order those with the capacitor in question, it's only a matter of time until the ones inside the tar blocks fail even if it seems to be working at the moment.
I would try either Radio Daze or Bob's Antique radio supply for the caps, maybe Mauser if you want to get some resistors.
