Hello again!

A week or so ago, I posted about the popping noise in my amp. I though I had tried everything. Some people suggested replacing the caps since the amp was about 10 years old. I can buy that - caps dry out and all kinds of stuff, so that's my next attempt at quieting the amp.

I'm handy around a soldering iron and not afraid to rip into anything. That being said, I need advice on replacing the caps. All the research I've done on what capacitors to get, no one ever really says what caps specifically to buy! I've been to mouser and looked up electrolytic caps and I find that there is a huge variety of sizes, voltages, and materials they're made of.

If I want to replace the filter caps, can someone point me in the right direction of what to buy?

Thank you so much for the help! I wish I had found this forum years ago!
Mike

Wow. Jackpot with the TubeDepot. I guess I'll dig up my schematics somewhere and figure out exactly which values I need.

Thanks!
Mike
