Use this framset to help find the stuff you need on Mouser.Com. I use Mouser because they have a very extensive selection and don't seem to screw up my order that often. Shipping is sometimes slow.

I have it setup to pick the big filter caps and orange drop capacitors here because Mouser makes these hard to find. You can also pick 1/2 watt resistors which are a little bigger, but are better able to take the higher voltages than the smaller 1/4 watt ones.

If you don't see the value you need, follow the link anyway and use mouser.com to find the correct value.

If Mouser is out of stock in something, try substituting. Tube amps are very tolerant of changes in values. For instance: if there are no .01 orange drops, try .015 or .022 or even .033. The bigger caps pass along more lows and can add a little more bottom to the amps tone. They don't have .05 orange drops, so use the .047 or substitute a little higher.

When trying to pick Carbon Resistors, you have to put in the value the way mouser wants you. If you are not sure, type just the first number or two. For instance if you need a 22k resistor, enter 22 and press enter. You'll see 22k, 220k and possibly some others, then you can pick from the list mouser shows you.

If you can't get an Audio Taper Potentiometer, you can use a Linear Taper one. The volume or tone seems to change slowly at first and then really fast. This is not so noticeable as you might think. Some recipes call for a 3 Meg pot for the Tremelo Control. Use the 5 Meg Linear pot.

Most old amps used Switchcraft Jacks, but there is a strong feeling that the Neutricks are better. Use the Transfer Circuit Type if you want to switch in a resistor across the input when the plug is pulled to help prevent hum. (Not strictly needed, but it might be worth the extra price.)

If you find a part on Mouser that you use alot in your tube amp building, let me know and I'll put it in the menu. I am listing standard low cost components. You can spend more money and (perhaps) get a better amp by looking for higher cost alternatives.
