.....This brought the total order to $140 whereas it'd be more like $40 otherwise.  But then again, I prefer to have a stash of parts available for the future so no regrets.

We used to go to hamfests and buy up epoxy capacitors by the box load.... at the end of the day we'd divide them up by handfuls.  I also used to buy new Sprague Orange Drops by the hundreds from a supplier up in Cincinnati or Dayton and then we'd divide those up too.  Saved a lot of money that way and I still have a pretty good stock of caps for sets from around the 30's.

I did have to place an order with Mouser recently for all of the electrolytic caps in my Royal 7000 Transoceanic that I hope to get to pretty soon.

Looks like all of those paper caps are original so it'll look nice if you decide to restuff them.  I was looking for some brown hot glue sticks yesterday but couldn't find any.... they used to be easy to find.  I did buy some that are amber colored made for wood that won't look too bad restuffing paper caps.  Looks like I'll need to hit Amazon or eBay if those aren't dark enough.
