Best caps for restorations

I`m familar with the Sprague brand being a good cap but I`m wondering which caps work best for these old sets? Do you use new or NOS? And where is the best source for new. I see a lot of nos on ebay.

Go to justradios .com can tell them what radio you have they will send what you need.resistors also.
or in fla vacuumtubes.com they sell all types radio stuff.
Denver.

OH ORDERD ALL MY RADIO PARTS BOTH PLACES LIKE TO SPREAD BUISNESS AROUND.

I personally wouldn't use NOS
Especially caps, as if they are still in packages they have deteriorated.

go to a.e.s. they have a great supply and you can order over the phone

I have allways used Orange drop caps ,never had any trouble with them .I buy new A.E.S. Justradios,Newark Electronics,Digikey and other small companys. Ilike to spread buissness around.Sprman

Whats Black plastic 1" long .5" dia has striped marking and goes to common ground.
If iam reading the schematic correctly its a 47 mf cap non electrolytic.

I think they are referred to as "Bumblebees". Regardless, they are not really electrolytic, but 47 mfd seems a bit high. Are you sure it's not "mmf"?

Sounds more like .o47 mfd. Should be 600 volts.

Me bad. Yes it is a .047mf.

No prob. Some of those schematics are very hard to read.
Hope you get it working soon. Please come back, and, let us know. Post often.
