I have been working on a Ric B6 for quite a while but (procrastinating) I want to replace the paper tone cap and Volume and Tone pot. Suggestions for values?
I also noticed that Stu-Mac has old barrel caps.
Also, just acquired another B6 that is very nice. Hard to get use to another sound when you play the B6 out of a small tube amp with a bit of reverb |

This is what's used on my B6 (1947) and BD6 (1950)

As for Potentiometers ...
Bourns are very nice (Mouser electronics) ... Mojotone has very easy turning Pots, CTS makes them for Mojotone ...
As for Capacitors ...
It doesn't really matter ... Mallory, Orange drop, ceramic disc ... Pay a few more bucks for a Jupiter Cap if you like ... But it's a guitar, not an amp ... So it's not really an issue ...
