My local Radio shack is a picturesque portrayal of dealer dishonesty, so I went online for my electronics needs. "The electronics Goldmine" has provided me super fast shipping and the best prices without having to buy in bulk for lots of modification stuff that I've purchased for my Westy. They stock quite a few items that that seem to frequently come up on this list (i.e. capacitors, cpu fans, switches that match the panel switch, solar panels etc.) No affiliation, just a satisfied customer.

Subject: Vanagon Syndrome...AFM fix

Many thanks to Harald Rust for his pictorial description of the fix for the
dreaded Vanagon Syndrome.
After almost 20 years of Vanagon ownership it has finally raised its ugly
head... am I now a journeyman owner?  A shellback? Have I crossed the
Rubicon?
Anyway. I am unable to find the Tantalum  Capacitor in the 22 micro farrad
size at the local Radio Shack.....NLA.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to procure this $3 part without going
into the ethernet?
Thanks in advance.
