[Boatanchors] HV electrolytic capacitor sources...

[Rob Atkinson]

To be honest, I'd avoid these small vendors catering to vintage radio
restoration and "antique" radios when it comes to electrolytics.  They
have attractive prices but information on country of origin is hard to
find which makes me suspicious.  I've had a good experience with
Illinois Capacitor, but now I've read it is a CDE brand.  That's
fine--CDE is another good manufacturer, as is Nichicon and Vishay

Newark has what you are looking for.  But remember, you get what you pay for.

N.B.  Allied Radio https://www.alliedelec.com is worth checking
occasionally for discounts.
