Rob.Livesey	Re: tin filter caps in the uk Hi Simon, I have had the same problem sourcing caps over here as you seem to have. I have found a small supplier in Accrington Lancs who have a few items. The problem I have is getting axial electrolytics instead of the PCB designed ones. Also for my large caps I now go to Marshall direct who send me 50x50uF/500V caps in the post for around Ł5 each. PV Components, Accrington Lancs - 01254 236521 Marshall, Milton Keynes - 01908 375411 Maplin are pretty useless for electrolytics. I have considered mail order from the US, checkout Hoffmans - http://www.ad-vantagenet.com/hoffman/ they may ne able to sort you out too. Hope this helps, Rob.
