[Heathkit] Power supply parts for SB-200

[Glen Zook]

The "cheap" electrolytics from Mouser are several
times better than the originals.  However, there is
nothing stopping someone from installing the more
expensive components if they so desire.

The originals have often lasted over 35 years.  If the
temperature in a particular SB-200 gets over 85
degrees C I don't want to be around!

That would certainly not be my choice of capacitor for
a HV doubler supply. First of all the ripple spec is
far from good, the load life is low and the
temperature rating is only 85C. Now for many hams the
mantra is "Cheap Is Best" but this is not the time to
count pennies.
 
However I suggest the 105C Cornell Dublier 381LX
series which is designed for switching supplies and is
a superb cap for amp use. Ive been using that series
since they came out for all my amp needs.
