I'm bringing this thread back for a related question. I see that
Mouser offers kits of capacitors, but not in the low-ESR, high-temp
categories. My parts bin includes only cheap caps from RS, likely no
better than what might be in the radio. If I wanted to recap my Omni
V, is there an available assortment of low-ESR, high-temp caps that
should cover most possibilities, or will I have to go through and ID
the caps one-by-one?
