Boutique Caps: A number of pairs listed below have an (*) after the quantity. These were broken in and used in a test set-up for evaluation. Rather than solder them in place, I made up a rig using a pair of terminal strips. Leads from the terminal strips were soldered into the circuit and the caps under test were held in place by screws on the terminal strips. While strictly used, they may show minor marks at the ends of the leads and are otherwise in "like new" condition. For logistical reasons, two of the cap pairs (the V-Cap OIMP and the Solen SM) had to have their leads trimmed, but appropriate lengths of silver wire were soldered on to make them useable as new. While most of the prices are 50% off typical retail, a couple of the Mundorf MCap Supremes are priced at OEM net.
 
Sale Pending means that someone has reserved an item, but I have not yet received payment. Since people sometimes change their mind, I'll put you on a waiting list for any of these goods.
 
The Fine Print: Lists are updated daily or whenever a sale is made.
 
Last update:
Polystyrene:
 
After Teflon®, polystyrene film is considered to be the best of all dielectrics. Because it's easier to work with, small values that cannot be fabricated with Teflon® film are possible.
 
Unless otherwise noted, all capacitors have Axial Leads.

Vintage Oil Caps:
 
Manufactured from the 1940s through the 1960s by various companies. These are often used as coupling caps in DIY amplifiers or as replacements in modern gear. Many users feel that they impart a smoothness to the music that is unique. Because they've been out of production for so long, I've omitted the "Typical Retail Price" and only listed my sale price. However, they are about 30%-50% less than recent sales on the eBay auction site. Caps with long leads are presumed to be NOS; those with short leads appear to be clean pulls. Unless noted, all are in silver wraps and typically measure 5% lower than their stated value.
 
All capacitors have Axial Leads. Voltage ratings are DC.
