Electrolytic caps for SB 220 pwr supply

[John Godfrey <KE5NZY>]

John,
	If you are looking for something that will look original, then my
thoughts are not going to help much. If you are just looking to bring it
back to life and just are looking at functionally working correctly, then I
would suggest the lower profile (Which are not Computer grade caps), caps
that are easily found at a bargain on eBay. I have used these before with no
problems. I am sure someone may tell me/us why they won't work fine, but so
far (knock on wood) I have not seen a set of these fail in a SB-220, Amp
Supply etc. I have an Amp Supply lk-500za setting next to me running right
now, and it makes a smooth 3100V Supply for the 2 3-500ZG's and I installed
them approx two years ago, and have had no problems.

Here is an example of some in the USA (-:

I need to replace the electrolytics in my SB 220 and would like to know
where they can be purchased at a reasonable price. Harbach has them,
but at a higher price than I think is what I would like to pay. Does
anyone know of a source? Thanks, John, K5PGW
