They are available to club members (and just about anybody else for that
matter) as long as they aren't for re-sale.  We try to keep the price
reasonable ($1 a section for lower voltage caps - $1.50 a section for
400v and up). The caps are tested and reformed before delivery - usually
by the club member making the purchase - that's why we don't advertise
nor solicit other sales. Someone would have to check/reform each before
being shipped - and volunteers are hard to come by. We do have a list -
but like most lists - it's incomplete / innacurate and out of date. We
hope to get an "honest" inventory in the next few weeks and get it
posted to our site. 

Like most clubs we have swap meets and a large annual meeting with an
auction... what ever shows for those is what gets sold. And like most
large clubs - we have a large technical library - Riders, Sams, Supreme,
Beitman, etc. There is a photocopier in the office available when
needed...
