JC	Re: Sprague's Peter, Howard, I think I have to look after the Spragues or similar ones a bit harder. Where I live is hard to find a cap rated for 450 volts, so you can imagin the rest of the story. "Why that much? haven't you got enough with 60 volts?" "Well, it's tubes, you remember them?" "What? Oh! yeah! those tubes, yes, I thought they were obsolete..." So: you "may" find new Mullards for $3 (same price for Telefunkens, Brimars...), but you can´t find a 500v cap... JC

"Why that much? haven't you got enough with 60 volts?"

"Well, it's tubes, you remember them?"

"What? Oh! yeah! those tubes, yes, I thought they were obsolete..."
