Do they still sell the Aluminum Electrolytic Cans?
I am referring to the old ones that were used on all the old tube
equipment and would have 2 3 or 4 caps in one can?
Such as
30mf 600V
20mf 450V
80mf 300V
50mf 200V
I dont see these advertised anymore, and old ones, even if not used,
seem to have gone bad from age.
If they are not available, what are restorers using? Sometimes there
just is not enough room under tha chassis for multiple single caps,
and a person can't just solder to the terminals on the dead caps, so
terminal strips are required. Plus it just takes away from the
"original" look.
I have this fascination with old tube equipment. Guess it just takes
me back to my childhood when my toys were old radios and tvs that
other people threw away. There's just something about the look of the
components both on top and under the chassis that modern printed
circuits can not match. The problem is getting parts !!!!
