Hi all,

Channels 3 and 4 of Kustom K200-A5 PA were distorting and we found the culprit to be these small white caps on both circuit boards. After a makeshift replacement the amp works great again. Can anyone recommend solid drop in replacement radial capacitors with the correct size and pitch. I'd like to change all of them and there are at least 10 in the amp.

My first stop is always www.allelectronics.com. If they have it, it's usually pretty cheap. Mouser.com has pretty much everything, but their prices are usually a bit higher. Plus, they have SOOOO much stuff it's sometimes a challenge to narrow down your search to find exactly what you want.

All Electronics has these for 10cents each in quantities up to 10. For 10 or more it's 6cents, so you could get 16 of them for less than a dollar. Shipping will add about $6. I usually look through their stuff and stock up on anything I think I might need - you can order a lot of small parts for the same shipping cost.

I like All Electronics, I buy from them all of the time, but I get stuff from Mouser, Allied, Digikey and others as well.

If you are looking for replacement caps that are the same size and ratings as the original Mallorys, you will have a hard time. Modern caps will be half the size given the same capacitance and voltage ratings. You could use a higher voltage rated cap that will be larger, but there is no real good reason to do that.

I'd just use a high quality cap with the same ratings as the original ones and if they need to be glued down, just secure them with a little dab of silicon.
