I will second the motion for Just Radios when looking for general resistor and capacitor kits.? Look at Dave¡¯s website and you will see that he even has them segregated in most used value by pre & post WWII.? I have been impressed with his kits.? Certainly beats spending hours perusing Digi-Key and or Mouser trying to build a BOM to order. I have also used Hayseed Hamfest for their can capacitors, even complete radio kits and they are nice as well.? So I would say those are my first 2 go-to places when sourcing caps and resistors for sprucing up old rigs.?

After saying all that, the higher wattage resistors (>10W) you will have to go to Digi-Key or Mouser to source those. At least that has been my experience.
I like using Ceramic Composition Resistors (OX/OY) series as they are non-inductive. ?Mouser sells Ohmite brand.
As for Hayseed Hamfest, I've known Tom since he started offering cap kits and stand alone cans. ?I also helped him on a few occasions where he needed capacitor info for a particular radio. ?Tom will also supply caps for "One off" requests etc. ?I also had him build cap replacements for my SR2000 PS's.?
Another great site If you're looking for capacitor and resistor kits is Just Radios. ? 73, Jim N9WW
