DX-60 Kit: Modern Equivalents

[Don Buska]

Paul,

The DX-60 is of recent enough vintage that all you list would be good 
choices even today.  Even the tubulars used during the DX-60 days where 
probably not of the wax paper varity.  However, just to be safe you 
could use axial milar film caps in place of the tubulars.  However, the 
original DX-60 probably used some form of plastic film tubulars anyways.

The rest should be just fine today.  Mica, disk caps and feed-thru's are 
great caps from the 60's timeframe.

There are a few different types of caps I need help with. What should i replace the following Cap types with?
