1/19/10 UPDATE: Twist-tab can-cap situation: On December 21st, 2009, Hayseed Hamfest was informed by a major supplier that a critical part for our twist-tab style can-caps was no longer available. Therefore, we have been forced to temporarily stop taking orders for that type of can-capacitor as of that date.
We are presently engaged in discussion with tool-and-die makers, as well as plating and laser-cutting concerns. It is our intention to begin tooling up within the next 2-3 weeks and to begin producing the part in question "in-house".
PLEASE NOTE: Multi-section *tubular* capacitors (for AA5's, S-38's, etc.) and Collins plug-in caps are not affected by this situation.
We still have a limited supply of twist-tab caps in stock, as well as a quantity that were ordered before the cut-off date which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks. We are presently preparing a list of remaining stock and will post it here and to the lists when it is completed.
We will not be able to replenish this stock until such time as the material becomes available again.
Please check this web-site periodically for further details as they become available.
We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Welcome to the Hamfest
Family-Owned and Operated
Hayseed Hamfest Co. is located in N.E. Iowa, the land of corn, dairy farms, pork tenderloins, wrestling, corn, soybeans, girl's basketball, and corn. We invite you to spend some time on our web-site if you can't make it here in person.
We offer a couple of different products which you may be interested in. As time goes by, we hope to add more unique ham radio related items to our line.
Our quest for a multi-section electrolytic capacitor to put in our HW-16 began quite some time ago. In the end, it led us right back here where we started. We liked the end-result so well we began to offer these can-type capacitors for sale. Shortly thereafter, we began putting together a kit with the can-cap plus the various discrete caps needed to re-cap the rig. This was received with great enthusiasm by our fellow hams. Today, we stock caps and kits for many ham rigs and usually can produce those which we don't carry. We can make kits for audio equipment, too. Please visit our Capacitor/Kit main page for all the details.
Hayseed is dyed-in-the-wool boat-anchor country. From our own experience it occured to us that the only thing keeping several of our rigs on the shelf and off the air was the sorry condition of their front panels. We just couldn't stand to look at them. Silk-screen is great for high-dollar collectible rigs, but it's tough to justify the screening's high cost on say, an HW-16. So we came up with an inexpensive substitute: an easy-to-install vinyl overlay. These will spruce-up rugged-looking old panels and make the repair of extra holes simple as well. Now you can get your classic old rigs out of the shed and back on the air where they belong. Please check out our Overlay Page for more info.
