Modular Synth Panels

I am having trouble finding polystyrenes other than the few values that Mouser sells. Is there a reason why they are so rare anymore ? There are BOMs that call for values that i can't find anymore, in percentages unkwown to me. Anybody know anything ?

I got this link some time ago, I believe off the synth-DIY list:
http://www.surplussales.com/Capacitors/Poly-Unelco.html
I have not ordered from the company.

I couldn't tell you why they're so rare, but you have more of a choice here:

Ha, ha!

Have you bought from them? The selection is nice.

Halted has a huge selection of polystyrene caps, including down to very small values. I go down to their store and pick them right out of the bins! They don't have every value, but the do have a lot.

Yep - I have.  A couple of years back.  They're the real deal!

Well, they were then, anyway.  :)
