Polystyrene caps

Polystyrene caps

2009-09-28 by adaaxs

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:
