[Jukebox-list] Where do you order YOUR capacitors (USA)?

[Jeremy Agema]

I am with Jay. I have been a mouser fan for 5 years. The main thing that 
will be confusing to someone who has not purchased modern caps is the huge 
selection they have. For juke I mostly use the axial style. But for tight 
spaces I will use the radial style and a terminal strip. 

If you decide to purchase from them I can let you know the style number of 
the caps I use the most.
