I fitted two brand-new multi-section electrolytic capacitors into a
vintage valve amplifier just a few weeks ago. They are still produced in
reasonable variety for the guitar amplifier market.


Hmmm. I've tried to restore a number of pieces of vintage gear, including a
Citation One preamp. I was told by everybody that these multi-section caps
aren't available any more. Do you have a source?
