[Boatanchors] Large original size filter caps

[Glen Zook]

There are "rings" available that mount the smaller
sized (and much better) electrolytic capacitors in the
same holes as the original chassis mount types.  Look
in the Mouser catalogue for some.

As for those that mount by leads under the chassis,
you are better off just adding terminal strips or
making a mounting board using "perf board".

Again, the smaller "new" type electrolytics are much
closer in tolerance than the originals and will last
much longer due to their construction than the
originals.  The "trade off" is that they are also
about 20% the size of the originals (to most people
that is a "good" trade off).

Anyone on the list know where to buy HV filter caps
that are the same physical size as the originals.  I
bought a replacement set of filter caps for my Dentron
MLA2500 but they are so small I will have to jury rig
some type of board for inatallation. It would be so
nice to find the ones the same physical size as the
originals (or close enough)
