Should? Have Components
#1

After discovering my lack of very small capacitors and the need for yet more goodies I stumbled upon a 3.9 pound box of NOS resistors as many sellers have a large variety of different items. The seller provided over 5 pictures and  Icon_wtf what the heck there is a HUGE  portion of purdy colorful dog bones that my Philco 444 uses all with long leads and even the solid colored bones other European sets that I have use! Well well well $30 USD or best offer so I offered $15 and they are coming my way for $25 shipping all the way from Israel but what the heck my VE301 and 444 came from across the pond so this is a minor detail.  Anyway this same seller has an assortment of those ceramic tubular molded caps also unused and many different values.. I have not often run across these years ago but I also seldom got radios from the 30's or older either. Are there any radios from pre war era that these were typically used in? Being a ceramic capacitor they should be as resilient as the Mica and Disk Ceramic as well? These I noticed are comparable  in very small values like Mica as well, are solid red in color and in other places I have seen these Tubular Ceramic with color dots on them like the dog bone resistors. As for the desirability please let me know and the solid colored ones with the values stamped on, they are probably like the European dog bone resistors that are solid red or gray with resistance values stamped on them as well.
As for dog bone resistors, well there are links showing how to replicate them in various ways and one UK seller has 24 NOS colored dot variety of dog bone resistors for the modest price of GBP35 and GBP18 for shipping, a second set for sale as the first like it sold fast. This is a picture of the ones currently for sale.
