The problems associated with replacing (or even obtaining) the HT
reservoir capacitors in valve projects might be replace with a series
/ parallel arrangement of those dinky 100uF 35V SMD ones?


There's still a significant market for valve-based guitar amplifiers, so
somebody must be making the HT capacitors for them.


Probably could be rolled up and placed inside the original aluminium
can, too!


Don't forget to include a suitable voltage divider chain.

Whats wrong with a 450volt rated cap?


Are they readily available?
