Parts replacement: PSU Caps + Volume Pot

Parts replacement: PSU Caps + Volume Pot

2017-05-12 by josh.nursing@gmail.com

What would be good modern replacement parts for the PSU PCB Filter caps?

I rarely see those Caps with leads on each end so I am wondering how to shoe-horn more normal caps in there but then have to worry about clearance inside (if indeed one has to worry about this).


I seem to have a very scratchy Volume Pot too, so is there a good modern replacement I could use?

You can still buy axial lead capacitors.    They are more expensive
but still available.

Check Mouser and DigiKey

Hey Bob, long time no hear, how are things?

OK good to know, I will add some to my next order. Digikey ships fast internally to Canada. Definitely more expensive than elsewhere though.

Thanks a lot.
