I replace the caps in the L7 and L4B supply with Mouser caps part number 5985-450v220 snap in made by CDE. They were $6.30 each. Prior to this I replaced the caps in the supply with Atoms from Newark that had a rating of 450v200 and they only lasted 7 years. The CDE have only been in the supply for 2 years but no issues. The Newark caps were $20.00 each the Mouser caps were only as noted $6.30 each.

Rick told me where to find them which was "surplus sales of Nebraska" www.surplussales.com they were $18/each . they were .1 uf 500-220vkbp-f feed thru capacitors. Rick had had a problem with them as I understand it when he was restoring a L4b. Since I was also restoring a L4B I just replaced them while I had the L4B apart. Just want to pass this along I hope it helps. -Karl corder wa2ovj
