WildBill, That barn find looks like a great challenge, Just my kind of radio. I have two sites to offer for capicator purchases. The first is Mark Oppat at Old Radio Parts. He has a nice selection of caps plus the best reproduction dials I have seen. He also has many other items and is very helpful. The other site is Just Radios, a Canadian firm. They have a very largs selection of capacitors and provide very good service. Just be sure to pay the extra dollar for air shipment. Most of the good sites do have a minimum order charge but I bet you will need more that one set of caps. Best of luck with the low boy.
