2Low,
In Europe we have Radiospares that stock some axial caps.
85°C Vishay Serie 021ASM ( cheap ) and 105°C RIFA PEG124 ( quite expensive )
In your country you can contact them @ www.rsonline.de

Thanks guy_4,
but these caps are polarized, i think i need bipolar caps in this case ...right?
 
2Low,
Do you mean the original caps you want to replace are non-polarized ( bipolar ) ?
On the Trident 80B that I recently re-capped they were polarized, and on the others consoles that I am used to work the inter-stages caps are polarized too.

I´ve found a german vishay distributor. If they accept an order of about 50 pieces, i´ll post the link ...
 
hi, guy4
not sure if you got my pm
but a lot of those coupling caps can be removed
& replaced by a piece of wire not another cap.

fwiw nearly all the nichicon bipolars i tested on my 636
were fine for value & esr, despite their age.

it just depends on how much you want to change the sound.
old caps,new caps or less caps?

cheers
justin
