Hi
What demensions is it? There is a surplus place
near here that often has screw mount type caps
( NOS ). also look for any caps that say they are long
life electrolytics. These will also be bad.

Subject: Capacitors -- replacements?
List,
I've got a lovely old Lambda power supply here (linear +/-15, +/-5)
that uses an old Sprague screw-mount (Computerlytic) capacitor. It's
rated at 34000uF, 15WVDC. It's all dried out, so it needs
replacement.
It looks as if it's going to be difficult to find a working exact
replacement.
What in your experience works best in these applications? Plain old
"snap in" electrolytics? Anyone have any hints on making the
replacement fit the larger footprint?
Thanks,
Chuck
