Before it's put on a slow boat from China

You might try ebay at this number. It is 100 volts but going up in voltage should be ok. There are others if you don't mind higher voltage.

Yes, That is the axial I found. They sell it on their website for $0.50 with $6.95 shipping.

Thanks, Mikek

Electronic Goldmine are fun people...

...but that's probably polyester dielectric instead of pure African ebony, hand-dried by the purest maidens. That might add a tinge of oak to the fruitiness of the highs, blurring presence. Or whatever.

Still would prefer a Radial lead capacitor. Shipping cost suck, $6.05 for a $1.25 part.

I subbed in a couple of series polarized 6.8uf caps, just to make sure everything is working before I order a new cap. All seems good, I can't hear anything out of the Super Tweeters, but it is ok, my wife can. :-)

$1.45 in singles for a Panasonic 2.7uF 100V film cap from Digikey. ECQ-E1275KF Radial lead (but not a can).

Yes, I see I have other options, I was hoping to install a cap that looks like the original 1982, 10mm x 22mm capacitor. I may not get what I want.

Thanks, Mikek

I like the heatshrink idea. Thanks, Mikek

opps... axial lead

I've gotten creative using a labeler with heat shink tubing labels.

Print the data on the tube, insert the caps in the order you want them and then heat shink it on. You get a cap that looks close to the original.

I've do this to make NP axial caps from radial caps that had to lay down low on the board when I could not get ready made NP axial caps

Thanks everybody, I ordered the axial capacitor from Parts Express. I bought two for $1.00 plus $6.95 for shipping. So $7.95 for the $0.50 capacitor I needed. And that's the way it is!

Maybe very careful surgery of the old cap, stuff the new one inside the hollowed out old one to get the old "look"?

Ed

It actually split the plastic cover and doesn't look to good anymore.

Hilarious!

The Rubycon 35V rated caps must be pretty good :-)

They *are* pretty good aren't they? That surprised me a bit, putting a decent brand name inside a fake.

Hmm... perhaps the Rubycons are fake too... Is there something else inside them too?

That's the -RD suffix.(*)
