Does anyone out there know where I can Get 450-500 volt electrolytic capacitors 8 through 20 ufd.
I've got a Twin, Bassman and Champ that need total cap jobs.

Thanks

Are you sure you feel safe doing that yourself? I looked into it once but decided frying myself wasn't worth saving some cash.

Tazz- good call, lol... but you can never be too careful, we don't need to lose any TDPRI'ers.

For the Twin and the Bassman I suggest rplacing the two 70/350's with two 100/350 Sprague Atoms. Then replace the 20/500s with 30/500 Spraugue Atoms, or 30/450s.

I have done this to numerous Fenders in the past with very good results. They also fit well under the cap can.

That's true, That's why I check his profile. If didn't say it I would not have said anything.

But I agree if you don't know what you are doing with caps then don't touch them at all period.
