Thanks for the suggestions. Really the only reason I wanted the screw mount
caps was so I wouldn't have to completely change out the mounting hardware
on the under side of the board. The snap in caps would have required that I
basically rebuild the board from scratch. I wasn't concerned about the
amplifier looking original (lots of mods already), so I bought some solder
lugs and a handful of nuts to go on the top side of the board for each screw
connection. Once they were bolted onto the board I just soldered the newer
style caps to the solder lugs. It worked really well.

Thanks again for all the suggestions that were posted to the group or
emailed directly.

73,
Jeff

I think you'll find a few free 200uF, 400V caps if you part out some old
monitors or AT-power supplies.


Most of those are 200V caps these days, I am sorry to report.


All the new ones, yeah :-(

That's why I mentioned the older ones, like the VGA/CGA color's are great
for those. Got two 200uF/400V of one CGA Samtron once and two more
out of it's '286 power supply - score!
