Can anyone give me suggestions to either find the original in stock or suitable equivilants via mouser/Reichelt/Rapid/RS etc etc?

try banzaieffects.com

Try: [[Farnell UK]](%7Boption%7D)

I’ll put some on my next order for you if you like. How many do you need, if It’s just a few, I may have them Nothing magic, just 5% 100nF mylar/polyesters

Hope this helps

cheers for the link Prof - they look pretty closely matched to me!

I need 30 of them, so I doubt you’ll have that many sitting around.

When is your next order with Farnell?

Probably about 10/14 days time - you just missed the last one.

If you want anything else, let me know

By the way - two people have now asked if we are brothers… (pretty rare second name, I do have to say). the answer would have to be ‘genetically no, but in spirit yes’

hehehe - I’ll second that! It is a bit odd innit!

I think I’ll grab those caps from Farnell myself, but thanks for the offer and the link.

If tolerance is not a serious issue, Rapid have a Trucap variant in 10%.

trucap Mylar from Rapid

I’m ordering from them this weekend, if that’s any use.

thanks Prof!

I want to keep the parts as per the original spec, some of those caps have signal running through them so I don’t want to risk colouring the sound, it’s the “SSL Sound” I’m building that baby for…

I do love Rapid - their service really is great (especially for the UK)…

BTW: if you are ever in East London near Brick Lane give me a shout and come round for a beer!

it’s official Rapid are the best electronics company in the UK.

They even have people working on Sunday!

I placed an order last night about 2am, realised I needed to change some parts, “deleted it” and re-ordered adding the extra parts.

After checking this morning I realised both orders had been placed and were getting ready for dispatch - eeekkk! I hate wasting money like that.

I was going to wait till Monday and check if I could do anything about it then.

I just got a call (12:30pm Sunday) from Rapid “You placed 2 very similar orders - do you want them both or shall I cancel one?”.

I’m super impressed!

Also good to know if you need stuff urgently in the week that you can place the order Sat/Sun and have it to you double quick.
