Old Parts Sources

[KB7VCO]

I don't know if a FT 101 qualifies as a boat anchor yet, but it will some day. I am in the process of bringing mine 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?

A lot of this stuff is still available, new, from Allied and Newark

Also, places like RF Parts, and Surplus Parts of Nebraska have hard to find items.  Careful, sometimes their prices are more than what the new item costs from Allied.  Shop around.
