I need to replace the Power Supply Electrolytics in my Viking II.
I ordered some 20uF @ 450 vdc and ome 20 uF @ 160 vdc. I was
amazed how small Electrolytics have become (it's been a long
while since I needed some).

I just hope these things don't explode !!

The old Electrolytics are dual axial lead units, but still too small
to stuff these replacements into.

Thanks for the loan of the soapbox.
