Testing Capacitors

[Crackle]

If you are comparing prices and availability of components for vintage valve radios with what is available from Maplin then you may as well try getting them from one of Jupiter's moons.
There are lots of places other than Maplin to buy from at much better rates.

I expect you know this already, but if buying direct from overseas, there is no formal way to resolve problems and recover your money if items are lost in the post, or damaged or faulty.

Here are just a small selection of suppliers, I cant vouch for them all myself but they are reported as being reliable to deal with.
