Hey Gunner,

For what it's worth, I brought home some oil-filled caps from Apex
Surplus out in the Sun Valley area of LA. For my comments here, I'm
making San Fernando as east-west, and Lankershim as north-south.
Anyway, just in case you are NOT familiar with the place, it's on San
Fernando just east of Lankershim. Finding anything in there on your
own is a bit of a bitch though, but a real adventure. Ask at the
counter if you're short on time. The larger ones I got were at the
west end of the first or second row about waist high, and the smaller
ones were on the north wall due north of the large ones (but over two
rows). I haven't even unpacked mine yet though, so I don't know that
they are "good" yet. The guy said I could bring them back if they
didn't work, and he knew right away they were for a Rotary Phase
Convertor.

Take care.

Brian Lawson,
