Since Bob seems to be temporarily incommunicado after Katrina, is there anyone else who sells cap kits? Am I just going to have to wait until Bob comes back? My MVS has been giving me problems for months, it finally went altogether.

Oops, meant to put this in the monitor forum.

You can usually get them off ebay... or this place (http://www.arcadeshop.com/parts.htm#Monitors) seems to have them. I have never ordered from them, though.
-
Thanks Chad. Looks like the link you gave has the one I need. I never thought to look on ebay.
Question answered. Feel free to post cheesecake and/or bacon.

Most parts are available on Ebay, from people who don't have the ability to set up their own websites. Accordingly, they usually cost a little bit more and are from less well known merchants, hoping that someone, like you, who can't find the part will just run to ebay and pay the extra few bucks. I've done it a couple of times myself.

I always just wrote down all the caps, and then went to the electronics place and bought them, cheaper than the kits are, and I had them that day.
-
Yeah, but most of those type of electronics stores have long since vanished. There is one in my area, but it's an hour drive there and an hour back. I don't have 4 hours to spend rounding up a cap kit when I can wait a week and get one ready made in the mail. Not being an op, it doesn't matter if one of my cabs is down for a period of time.

For god's sake, haven't you seen where he lives??? What's he going to do, make caps out of moonshine and squirrels?!?!
(hehe sorry Stingray) :angel:
-
No offense taken. The local Radio Shacks have an abysmal assortment of parts these days. The squirrels broke into my still and drank up all the moonshine, then stole my Mini and went to Mexico.

Friends don't let squirrels drink and drive to Mexico.

They aren't my friends, they stole my moonshine.

Obviously you kept too small a stash. It was consumed by squirrels. If you had an acceptable store of it there would have had to have been 750,000 squirrels.
You can't fit 750,000 squirrels in a mini.

Sure you can, but 300,000 of them have to ride on the roof and 25,000 in the trunk.

Don't forget Zanen Electronics and penn-ray.com sell capkits.

300,000 squirrels provide too much wind resistance.
-
Thanks Ken, I'll check those sources too.
300,000 squirrels provide too much wind resistance. They would not make it to Mexico with a single tank of fuel.
You're assuming that my Mini has not been converted to run on moonshine and squirrel vomit. Nothing to be ashamed of, it's a common mistake.

If you have a car that runs on squirrel vomit, you are holding back crucial technology that could free our country from dependence on foreign oil, high gas prices, and high heating oil prices. You are crippling our national security, our foreign policy, and our economy.
You are a bad, bad American.

Bush threatend to send Big Oil thugs over to my house to crush up my Atari carts if I exposed my moonshine & squirrel vomit carburetor. I've already said too much.

Bush can't manage to take care of my crabgrass, what makes you think he has effective thugs?
If he does have effective thugs, I demand that they come and spread weedkiller on the lawns in my neighborhood.

I actually don't think Bush has effective anything, so I guess there's nothing stopping me.
Other than my own lazyness. And you thought I was a bad American.

Any American who drives a Mini clearly is missing the concept.

Clearly I'm missing the concept by such a wide margin that I have no idea what the actual concept is. ???

Wide right.
You would also make a poor field goal kicker.

Which I think would pretty much go without saying. I'm about as athletic as a sack of turnips.

Stop eating the squirrels, then.

Some folks'll never eat a squirrel, but then again some folks'll.

Can I have a beer?

No.

That's harsh.

Won't help. Still can't have one.
