Default Source for replacement electrolytics

I'm starting my first refurbishment of an old receiver.

Even before I power up I want to replace the electrolytics based on age
degradation principles. [I'm a retired EE and understand age degradation
in 40+ year old capacitors]].

Being away from parts suppliers for 10+ years leaves me ignorant of what
is where. Therefore my original question: "What is a good source for
electrolytics?"]

Hi Dave,

If you don't find what you need surplus, www.jameco.com has better
prices on most than www.mouser.com A couple others to compare with
would be www.alliedelec.com or www.newark.com .

I often find what I need from some of the places that buy excess
inventory from manufacturers but do watch their prices. Sometimes they
are more expensive than just ordering new. You can check out
www.allelectronics.com www.alltronics.com or www.mpja.com

Good luck on your project!

Paul
