Twin Cities electronic parts dealers?

I think you will do better by asking this question in the Minnesota newsgroup, mn.general

I will post there, but in the meanwhile I sure could use your help.

I put the capacitor figures in the message, so future folks looking for this rare capacitor will have some help. So while it's asking for a local answer, this post will archive this capacitor's location for future reference. Non-MPLS folks can order one up.

Also, after some research, I learned you can replace this capacitor with a 6800uf 50v type. Using one with slightly higher voltage rating is perfectly OK

If it was me, I'd just order one from Mouser or Digikey or any of the big national parts houses (in stock) but since you want to shop locally, you might try AEI Electronic Parts in Golden Valley. Otherwise, the Ax Man Surplus stores (several in the Twin Cities area) or ABC Electronics in the warehouse disctict, where you have the fun of sorting through the parts on the shelf to see if there's one you can use.

DIGI-KEY (and its huge warehouse) is in your backyard (Thief River Falls, MN) -- surprised you did not know that.
