Thanks. His prices are better than what I'm seeing at Digikey for values above .1, so I may order a few .22 and .47s to give them a whirl. I've got about 70 or so of each left, so it'll be a while before I need any....

Mouser has special deals if you order quantity too.
Note the price drop on these .047/630V of quantities of 10 or more. Brings the price down from 47 cents to 25 cents. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/...NUdl%2ffji8%3d

Every time I see yellow caps I think, "a radio guy tried his hand at fixing a TV"

As long as you don't need more than 630V the yellows work as good as anything else...I've been using them for close to 15 years (save for a few years in the middle where I lived away from my source of them) and never had a problem.

We have no brick and mortars around here that stock them, so online for me is the best and easiest way to go.

Just under a quarter a piece for .047 uF 630V from Mouser if you order in quantities of 10 or more. I usually buy them 20 at a time.

That's not a bad price and I usually buy 100 at a time so will give them a try. How do the lead lengths compare to the yellows?

I just pulled them from my stock and they're 1 1/4" leads.

My only option is to order online, the local stocks dried up years ago. I have been using the yellows for at least 15 years or even more and have never had an issue with them. I have never had a repair come back with a bad cap either.

My problem with the yellow caps, in all early vintage equipment, is that the bright yellow looks out of place. It looks modern. I really don't like seeing orange drops either.
I have been using the same Panasonic capacitors that Kamakiri uses and I love them. |

I placed an order for a bunch of the Panasonics and will give them a try. Buying them 100 at a time the price is very reasonable.

Just a reminder - Digi-Key sells Panasonics, and they offer free shipping on prepaid orders.

My $300 order from Mouser would probably have been $50 higher with Digi-key. I paid Mouser $6.99 for USPS Priority shipping with delivery confirmation. I could have gotten USPS Parcel Select from Mouser for $4.99. |

First thought was, man, the guy uses THAT many?? But then I look back and remember how many times I've ordered them in quantities of 20. I've had 12 orders with Mouser this year and probably close to that many with Capacitor World. Maybe it's time to bulk up on my orders.
