* I used TOKO RWRS-T1015Z for the oscillator inductors.
* For pots I used CTS 296XD502B1N
* A 1% tolerance is within a 5% tolerance so it is OK.
* For the DIP socket compare the mechanical specifications of the socket to the mechanical specifications of the IC.
* Polypropylene caps are in stock at Digikey. Are you sure you looking at the correct values?

I think these inductors from Jameco might work That one is 100uH and there is a 68uH in the same series.

Thanks for showing me the cheaper pots!

I'll look for the caps at Digi-key.

Thanks, and please tell me if those Jameco inducotors won't work

Those are low Q inductors. I am not sure how well
they would work. Also SMD parts will be more difficult to work with on the Vector board.
