I am posting the following for a friend.

===========================================================

In an attempt to learn about electroncis in my spare time, I have
begun construction of a wireless FM microphone to be used as a 
baby monitor.  I am using plans from a book titled "Build Your Own
Laser, Phaser, Ion Ray Gun And Other Working Space-Age Projects" by
Robert E. Lannini.  The list of parts necessary to complete my 
project includes:  1) a 6/35 pfd trimmer cap; 2) a 5-6 pfd 0Temp Mica
cap; and 3) an FET microphone (described as an RF supersensitive mike).
I know little or nothing about electronics, hence my begginer's project.
I can't find these part at any electronic warehouse.  I've tried
Mouser Electronics, MCM Electronics, and ALL Electronics.  Neither
has any of the specific parts called for in the recipe.  I have found
the parts at a company called "Information Unlimited," which is 
"plugged" quite often in the book I'm using.  Unfortunately, they
want $9.50 for the trimmer cap, $3.50 for the Mica cap, and $9.50 for
the mike.  These prices seem a little steep.  I would like to know:
1)  Is there any other warehouse that might carry these parts?
2)  Can I substitute these parts with something else and 
still get a decent finished product?
3)  Do I just have to bite the bullet and buy from Info. Unlimited?
 
 On a side note, can anyone recommend any other books that might have
 some cool beginner-type projects?  Thanks in advance for your help.
  
  Mark
