I have personally gone to mail order to get all my caps and stuff for repairing these old sets. There is only one local electronics distributor left in this area and rarely have any of the high voltage caps, HV anode wire, belts, etc. Also I try to salvage as much as I can from junked modern equipment. Computers and computer monitors will often have a lot of higher voltage electrolytics and power resistors. One time I completely re-caped a 1940's GE radio using only parts from computer monitors. Worked great.
