Following this up, I ended up making an order with Element14 because they have by far the greatest range of cap types and specs - usually a choice of several manufacturers and sizes - eg for SMDs. Much better prices than Jaycar, though I still walk in there for anything reasonably common that I want in a hurry.
The toughest to find were 3.3uf x 35v SMD electrolytics - the Powerbook 160 display uses 9 of them. Very few suppliers stock them or even list them. Element14 accepted the order - then only when I read the order confirmation I noticed that they were tagged with a delayed delivery of 18 weeks!
Meantime I've ordered some Tantalum SMDs (from US seller - postage= 2 x price) and just hope they can fit the tight locations. If that fails, I can get 3.3uf x 35 radial electros from Hong Kong for a few cents that will probably fit the SMD locations with some tricky soldering. Just as well I'm not in a hurry.
