Old Parts Sources

[KB7VCO]

 I am in the process of bringing my FT-101E back to life and have hit a road block.  PARTS !!! Where can I find them... Specifically capacitors 1KWV Molded mica(80pF), dipped mica(10pF), ceramic discs, Diodes, real wire wound resistors(not the sand type) etc.of the values and heat tolerances required for this radio.  Do any of you fellows know of a good source for this kind of stuff?

 Thanks,

These are all good sources that I use:

Hosfelt Electronics 800-524-6464
Jameco 800-831-4242
Circuit Specialists 800-528-1417
Computer Component Source 800-356-1227
Digi Key 800-344-4539
RF Parts  800-737-2787
It took a while to settle on these for price and product availability.  They all send free catalogs.  Most have web sites.

I haven't done the research on the specific parts you need, but I have found that (believe it or not) www.RadioShack.com has a very good selection of components.  I've dealt with them for a few years now at first as TechAmerica and now as RadioShack.com.  Highly recommended.

Pick up an old non-working parts radio at a hamfest or on Ebay, and cannibalize.
