Great thread, hear, and the pictures are a great illustration to backup the material.
I always buy caps for my Mac Re-Cap jobs from Mouser. Usually Kemet for tantalums, and always Nichicon or Panasonic for electrolytic.
I have considered ebay, buy I just don't trust it for the Macs. I recap the Macs to preserve a piece of history, and restore them to working order. Chancing a crap capacitor or a fake off ebay just isn't worth it to me. If I chance it on ebay, and it turns out to be a crap shoot, I would end up placing another order at Mouser or Digikey in the end, and spending more money than I would have doing it right the first time, and no frustration of getting cheated, in the end.
