Lightbulb

Another good source of parts are those compact florescent light bulbs. They usually have one or two 20uF at 200V electrlytics (the 105C ones), and a few 400V mylar caps as well. Sizes like 2700pF, 3300pF, 0.033uF. So when you find a dead bulb, squeeze its base in a vise to crack it open. Be careful not to break the glass of the bulb, as that can be rather messy.
