Most common capacitor values to have around

Im new to vintage TV repair, and I was wondering what are the most common capacitor values that i should have around? I'm tired of having to drive twenty miles just because I don't have the correct value on hand, and im planning on stocking up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just off the top of my head I would recommend .0015, .0022, .047, .47, .01, and .1mfd. all rated at 600volts will cover a lot of paper caps. In electrolytics I use a lot of 10, 47, and I believe 80mfd, all at 600v. There is a lot more but these are a few REAL common values. I'm sure someone will add to this. Hope this helps a bit.

Welcome to the machine........

Beyond what Tubejunke mentioned I keep some .022,.033,.22,.33, and for electrolytics 22, 33, 68, 100. You could do with less but I try to get as close as possible with the ratings. Most electrolytics will be 450 volts max. Get one of those Akro Mills cabinets and keep the caps in order...real handy that way. The first order might be expensive but if you're recapping a lot of stuff you don't want to keep running out of something.
