Capacitor replacement kit
#10

I agree, and I could re-iterate: I simply don't want other people making decisions for me as to the choice of parts, and also I do not know the people well enought to trust their judgement on the picks, especially the electrolytic caps as I am somehow sure they will try to meet capacitance/voltage and this will be the extent of it whereas I think that at least in some radios things like ripple current should be paid attention to also. I also want to be in charge in picking manufacturers.

Resistors are easier but still.....as long as I am buying my own caps might as well throw the resistors in and lower the per-item shipping charge.

Again, some people do not feel copfortable enough dealing with electronics and having to analyze what they need and the klits will likely meet the minimum requirements, amd then some of those who are fairly proficient in electronics still want the headache to be handed down the purchasing chain, and I am not trying to dissuade them.
Myself I simply do not have the need to do this and plus like I said it leaves me feeling being in charge of the whole process so if something is screwed up it is my own fault and no one else's.
