Help finding some big caps

Hi guys,

I need a couple of 4700uF / 55v Axial caps for and amp I'm working on.

I've tried all of the usual supply houses and this particular cap seems to be nonexistent on this planet.  And that includes higher values and voltages.

Would anyone be able to recommend anyplace that might stock this size?  I would like US Domestic, but would consider anything at this point.

Thanks,
George

Hey George, what exactly are you working on? If you don't mind sharing that is.

Dang, I love this place.  I looked high and low and could find them anywhere.  And that is EXACTLY what I needed.

THANKS!!!

It's just a buddy's old Peavey Stereo Chorus 400 amp.  It's getting weird on him and since it's 30 years old, the logical suspects are the power filter caps.  At least that's what my buddy Google tells me.  :)

30 year old power filter caps ABSOLUTELY need to be replaced no question. You should also do the bias voltage cap and all bypass caps (basically anything electrolytic if that old)
