Default Looking for BEST place to buy caps / parts for boatanchors


Good morning... Looking for the BEST place to mail-order replacement caps
and other components for restoring boat anchors.

I did the deja and google searches and got the usual hundreds of thousands
of hits, now I'd like to know what you guys consider the best place to
deal with mail order.

Current project is a DX-40 and I need some 40-uf 450-V electrolytics and
replacements for a few misc. paper caps.

Radio Shack has nothing, as usual.

I suppose ordering two electrolytic capacitors and two paper cap
replacements will be a losing proposition because they'll raid me for more
on shipping and handling charges than the caps are worth, but if there is
anyone out there who's reasonable on that kind of stuff I'd appreciate
hearing about them.

I suppose if I'm going to get into this boat anchor stuff I should buy an
assortment of caps and other parts... any suggestions there?
