Here!
Keep in mind that this is not just for an Esquire, it could also be used in your vintage Precision.

I don't think I can buy that without some extra 50's solder. Using new solder would ruin it right?

I wouldn't go within ten feet of that old cap without this in hand:
Installing it using my Hakko soldering station would surely devalue it!

Even so, it won't sound the same without vintage electrons. I thought everyone knew that modern electrons are more negative and less mellow.

If he can find someone stupid enough to buy it, more power to him!

No, it was just relisted. Better hurry and snap it up before somebody else does.

Here's one I haven't seen before:
1957 Strap
Because vintage cows have more resonance.

Ever see the bumble bee caps that sell for big bucks on ebay? I'm redoing a ham radio right now and have clipped out about 25 of them, they all leak DC and ruin the circuitry. I probably have 20 more to go.

Jeez, I'd be rich if I hadn't have clipped them right at the body, I actually have some of this same value along with many .01 uf

Somebody would probably pay at least something for 'em, even leaky and without leads.
