Digi-Key is fine for the latest SMT components and the like, but for
the kind of parts used in old radios, a supplier like justradios is
definitely recommended. I have bought a general purpose kit
of capacitors from them and was fully satisfied. Also, do a web
search with the keywords hamfest and the name of the nearest
large city. A hamfest is a kind of flea market organized by and
for amateur radio operators (hams), and all kinds of goodies related
to the old radio hobby can be found there. But maybe you already
know that from your old computer hobby...
Bye for now!
