Thanks. It really irks me that my favorite vendor (Mouser) no longer stocks ASC capacitors. It appears that JustRadios in Canada stocks a few. The high voltage ones are needed for restoring TV sets, such as the 7" ones using electrostatic deflection. Allied has them, but they have a high minimum order. I have not checked DigiKey and other sources.
Good tip. I still would like to know IF I need to use non-polarized capacitors for filters in this radio, and WHY! I just looked at another 6 volt set in my collection (37-34) and it does NOT use non-polarized caps.
