do you want the flat mica caps that are "bare" or the ones covered with dark

I am in need of some capacitors (600 vdc) for a homebrew 20's vintage
project and am looking for period correct parts. If you have some to sell
or know of a source , please let me know the price.

William,
He's probably looking for the "bare" ones from that era. They look like a flat block
of phenolic with contacts riveted to each end.

Playthings of Past has boxes of them, used. (I drooled over many of the chassis that
they came from). There may even be some NOS ones available. Many of those caps were
punch stamped with the value on the metal ends, sadly many were stamped in ink on the
phenolic that faded completely over the years. You might try contacting Gary Schneider
(PTOP) to get the sizes you need. Check the website first to see if they are listed.
www.oldradioparts.com.

This is not to be confused with Mark Oppats site, www.oldradioparts.net. Both are
very valuable resources for vintage radio parts. Gary has always leaned toward battery
set parts, power transformers, and other hard to find OEM items. Mark is, of course,
The King of Kontrols,... and capacitors, ...and dials, and... Bookmark both links and
you'll have many of your radio parts needs right there at hand.

Best of luck on your project.
