Default National NC300 restoration hints needed.

Gentlemen and any Ladies,

I have a National NC300 that I will be restoring. At minimum replacing the
electrolytic capacitors.


Glad you brought that up. I have a couple of antique radios I would like to
restore. All of them need replacements for the big can multi-section caps
in the power supply. Where does one find replacements for these today?
I just got a brand new Allied Catalog (I didn't even know they were still
in business) but they have nothing even vaguely similar.

One of these radios is very valuable to me sentimentally as it was the first
radio I ever repaired, when I was 9 years old. It is an old Philco and
listening to shortwave after repairing it is probably what got me interested
in electronics and radio in the first place.
