===================================
Suggest you look for good electrolytic caps in scrap (not too old) PC
SMPS units . I have removed quite a few of adequate capacitance and
working voltage to be used in valve (tube) type radio ,assuming AA5
radios are of the tube variety.
When removed from scrap equipment , it is best to slowly cycle them
(charge/discharge) a few times up to the stated working voltage .
If necessary test them in a real equivalent circuit and check ripple
with a scope . A bit of work ,but imho a rewarding activity.
