| There are plenty of resources to get the green 1968 Polyfilm and ceramic disc capacitors from on the web with the original values. But some reproduction and new capacitors are worth mentioning here for information sake.. Vishay/Sprauge/Cera-Mite did have a capacitor that was very close the orginal 1960-1966 Strat one. I'm not sure if it is still availble because of the lead-free (ROHS) component requirement now. But I did see some on ebay.. "Z5U .1M 100V 20% Tolerance" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| For the original 1954-1961 Stratocaster Cornell-Dubliner Capacitor. I'm not sure if CD makes a modern version, but it wouldn't surprise me. There are two companies that have reproduction caps availible for some $$$ one is a high end audio company in the U.S. , and the other is in the UK | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
