Need to locate a local area shop/store to pick up some 1000 micro-farad (+/- 20), 16V high temp (105 deg. C) electrolytic capacitors, radial style.

DO NOT TELL ME:

Radio Shack - The majority of them don’t know a capacitor from a hole in the ground, and the two that did searched the database and said they don’t carry high temp caps.

Radio Equip - You would think they would have it, but they don’t :picard: . I ask the guy, "When do you restock so I can come back? " His response: "I dunno, it’s gonna take a while. " :bloated:

Graybar- No go ☹

Eaton Electric - They don’t answer their phones :meh:

Hirsh Electric in Williamsville - Wants ~$7.00 per cap (20V) :eyebrow: . He must be smoking crack.

Can anyone recommend somewhere that I can pick up a few of these today or tomorrow even? Or are there any huge nerds that actually might have ~7-10 of these kicking around in a drawer/parts tray somewhere?

Post up. If I can get these local and not have to order them from somewhere it would be great.

Digi-Key is the best bet otherwise. They ship FAST. You can even get them overnighted for tomorrow

Grainger: Location? phone number? Google pulls up 716 number, but the guy that answers it says he’s in Rochester 😕

YEah, I know. I’m trying to avoid that if possible. Digikey or Newark will be my last resort if I can’t find this stuff by Sat.

Shit I’d even settle for 20V 1000 uF caps, I could work with those. 25V may be too big.

Just called Hi-Fi Hospital, doesn’t stock anything.

Calspan… isn’t that some ballistic ordinance test site? I don’t think they are going to sell capacitors to the public, are they?

Ugh, this is Buffalo, what kind of industrial city/town doesn’t have a store that sells a simple CAPACITOR?! :banghead:

**EDIT: Chino, stop being lazy. You owe me since you STILL have my OSX CDs that I got for you. Hook a brotha up. :tup: I need 7 of 'em. Radial (looks like soda can, both leads come out of the bottom).**
