There are a couple online stores but you would have to buy in quantity to make shipping worth it. I have went to a local music store and found they carry some of the more common components they use to repairs audio amplifiers. Try that.

Re: buying caps and transistors etc
I buy old radios at garage sales and resale shops. I try not to pay more than 5 bucks for them unless they're guaranteed to work. If they don't work I rob them of parts. I buy small quantity parts on Amazon and hope the ratings are fairly accurate. Haven't had any problems so far.

Re: buying caps and transistors etc
I'm not sure if I am allowed to mention these companies here, so if they are censored I'll PM you to let you know where I get my components from. With that said, I use both Mouser Electronics, Digi-Key Electronics and RF Parts for RF specific components.

Re: buying caps and transistors etc
I usually stick with American suppliers, Mouser, Digikey, and a few others. Reputable recap kits, come from Klondike Mike, as he has done most of the hard work and only uses reputable caps.
