Re Capping
#1

I've finished restoring the cabinet on my 37-660 and have made some progress recapping the chassis. The cabinet looks great after sitting in the regularily flooding basement in our old house. I've re glued the laminates and turned new feet. After stripping and re doing the laquer it looks like new.

I seem to have run into a sourcing problem and would appreciate some advice. The vendors on the list don't seem to cover a number of the capacitors the schematic says I need. Specifically:
110 pf
.1 mf (micro)
75 pf
1150 pf
.003 mf
250 pf
40pf

I've tried Digikey and they can help with all but the last two.

The schematic actually doesn't use the term pf. Instead they us micro micro (Which I read to be 10**-12 or a pico farad). I am curious as to why they just didn't call it a pf.

Also, the schematic does not specify and voltage requirements.

So, my question is, what voltage should I ask for and where can I get the capacitors.

Thanks,
Dick Finn
