What brand of electrolytics do they normally ship? I've been told Rubycon but also some people have said "not junk but not really great" brands too.
They have great prices on films though, and I don't care about brands as much on them. Plus if they ship from NJ that's probably "overnight" to me by USPS anyway here in Eastern PA.
I'm interested in giving them a try, but I want to hear your respected opinion first!

I'm answering questions and helping with searching out tubes and parts....thank God most everything is well organized.
EDIT: I found some 6CG7s. It's gonna be a busy morning once they wake up  |
Turn them loose on your back-log of shelved projects. I'm kind of doing the same thing with my girlfriend. She enjoys soldering and desoldering very much, so I have to have plenty of things to do in that area to keep things enjoyable for her in between the advanced theory portions which aren't so enjoyable for her until things eventually click into place in her head and the light of understanding shines forth.
We can both hope that this isn't just a "fad" for our apprentices. Someone has to keep the thermionic lighthouse warm in the future!
