AC/DC filter cap source?

[Henry Kolesnik]

What's a good place to get some good ones, reasonable? I've got
several AA5 radios with hum and need to fix them. All my new old stock
capacitors are dry.
thanks

Digikey, Mouser, Newark, Allied Electronics, etc.

Use their search engine, search for particularly low ESR type in the
sizes you need (or pick brand names and look on their online catalog
pages for the part # for the sizes and voltage ratings). Nichicon and
Panasonic are two popular brands among others.

You might find lower prices at some electronics surplus 'sites, but
there may be no guarantee how old they already are and it's hit or
miss what sizes and values are available in anything decent.

Hank,

I have no idea what an AA5 is, but if it is a tube type set, you might
also want to look at Antique Radio supply (www.tubesandmore.com) as they
have some multi-section caps. There is also a vendor call Radio Daze,
but I'm not as familiar with them.
