Digikey is good, as is Jameco and Mouser...

The caps I quoted are 10.50 each.  I opted to use the more expensive ones
just so that I didn't have to fiddle-fool around with fitting them in.
They are a physical exact replacement.  They are even almost the same color.

I like to leave all my repairs so that no one can look in and say:
" Man, lookit _THAT_ hack job Vern! "   :)
