If you can't find a replacement that is "NEW" and by that I mean made in the past couple years ...
It has been > 30 years since I've been inside a 4051 your best bet might bt to take an axle (wires out both ends) leaded cap and doing things like standing it on end and use a wire that runs down the side to where the can connected, make sure the wire is insulated and then use heat shrink to mechanically secure it. Electrically the wire should be at least hmmm ... 18 AWG, I'd see if 16 AWG would fit. The issue is your adding resistance but since you only working with 60 (or 50/120/100) Hz that shouldn't be much of a problem. -pete Ex Tekkie On Tue, Nov 15, 2016 at 10:15 AM, Mattis Lind <mattisl...@gmail.com> wrote: > One of the DC filter capacitors has gone open circuit in my Tektronix 4051. > It is a SPRAGUE 9600 uF - 30VDC with a little bit unusual foot print. > > It might be common for other Tek equipment. > > Google turned up one Ebay-hit for a completed auction but that's it. > > Anyone has a reliable source for this type of capacitor: > > http://i.imgur.com/P0Nz5KW.jpg > >
