All I could find were new similar Kemet capacitors. Do you know if newer Kemet suffer from the same problem and I will regret buying them?
I usually replace the Rifa capacitors with equivalent polyester safety caps (X or Y rated). Kemets are most common and work just fine. It's not a bad idea, if you're in a 240AC mains country to bump the AC voltage rating up a bit. I've seen too many line filters with 250VAC rated caps labeled for either 120 or 240V use. That would make me nervous if I lived in a 240V country.
