Kits are expensive.

if you know values you want, just make a list and go to Mouser.

Well, that's just it... I don't want to have to make a special order all the time. I like to have the replacements on hand. I usually try to buy in bulk, so I have a nice stock of parts that are ready to use. I have about 10 of every value resistor, but they are all 1/2w. Same with caps - I have most values. I have founds that the kits from Justradios are a good savings instead of buying one piece at a time. I just wish he offered a 2w kit too.
