Well all this capacitor talk has me actually looking for the 5 uf cap. When I picked up the 5065a it didn't work. This was in the late 90s and no manual was available at that time. I reverse engineered the system and guess what cap was bad? The integrator. So not being all that smart, I hooked 2 X 10 UF caps in series. Been working like a champ for 18 years. Not obvious of what the downside of this approach was at all. But I went out to mouser and have to say the selection of large capacitors really is thin for PPS and PS. I did see the one picture of a yellow cap I think from Germany. The question really is what is the source and part number for a good cap. does appear that the wima caps are carried by Mouser but may have long lead times. Regards Paul WB8TSL
