[Heathkit] sb-200 capacitors (again)

[Glen Zook]

There definitely is nothing wrong with replacing the
electrolytics with even higher quality parts.  The 105
degree capacitors are available from Mouser but do
cost quite a bit more.

The replacement electrolytics that I suggested are of
higher quality than the original capacitors (which
have often lasted for decades) while being relatively
inexpensive.  But, there are even higher quality
components that are available and can most certainly
be used if so desired.

What I was asked for is a list of replacement parts
for the power supply in the SB-200 that will do the
job at a minimum cost.  That I did.  If someone wants
to spend more money on even higher quality parts then
that is their choice.  It is my opinion that the parts
I suggested will do the job.  However, I definitely do
not disagree with those who are suggesting rplacing
the existing parts with even higher quality parts.

It is sort of like comparing a Kia with a Rolls Royce.
 Both will get you there, it is just a matter of
"style".

That said, can anyone point to a source for the 105C
rated caps?
