Parts searching

[ShortBuSX]

Topic suggestion, works like this...you help me, I help you, we help the next guy...together were super resourceful!

Ive got a project and Ive found almost everything Ive been looking for...except for some (3)BLACK TELE KNOBS...and Im also looking for capacitors(although Radioshack has been suggested an online source would be nice). I need (2) .033uf and (1) 1uf 400v caps.

Any suggestions?

Those sites dont really have a catalog to chose from.

So Im still searching.

I just found this(link)...
But it still dosnt show the values Im looking for
Im sure there is something I need to learn here.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I think Ive got it now, thanks to you...and Ive been researching this all morning, even after reading this post...I eventually came back to it, and it made more sense...and I purchased from them, I tired of hunting.

When it comes to electronic components, if Mouser doesn't have it, it probably doesn't exist!

Im thinkin caps are the the most confusing thing in a guitar! Ive had a hellova time...so thanks again!

Well almost all of my parts have arrived...Im really just waiting to get settled into my new place before I tear into my project.

The only thing Im having a hard time with now is finding:
BLACK, Phillips, Countersunk, Stainless, #6 - 32 x 1/4" Switch Mounting Screws

Keyword black...I know, Ive been told I can paint them...but Im also smart enough to know you cant really paint stainless and expect it to stay on...so Im looking for black, and I feel like Im looking for the impossible.

I ordered a set of switch screws from Stew Mac, but they sent me the smaller #4-40 x 1/4" countersunk ones. I can get panhead screws in black...but I cant find countersunk.

I know this seems kinda small and insignificant...what can I say, Im a freak for the details!

But the Mouser Catalogue is so damn confusing and user-unfriendly ...

All I can say....is there are times when you really need to get off your butt and go to the store....then you can search through all the screw bins your heart desires.

That coming from the guy who is probably the most reclusive on this forum.....but I do go to the hardware store when necessary.

Searching through the parts-bins is Heaven ... but when you live halfway up a mountain in the middle of Wales, those kind of stores are fairly thin on the ground (i.e. none) ... it's mail-order or nothing here as far as components are concerned, and most of the UK mail-order stuff is fairly dire. It seems the U.S. has all the parts, but the P&P/S&H makes them prohibitively expensive.
