[GreenKeys] OT: Non-TTY Cap Identification

[Jack]

A word of caution. Some of these "off shore" electrolytics  have
poorly-spot-welded
negative leads. Bend them very carefully or they break off. Radio Daze is
good
at replacing them, but it's still a hassle when you're in the middle of a
repair job.

RadioDaze has axial electrolytics see http://www.radiodaze.com/axial/

They have 47mfd at 160 and 450VDC

Have fun,
