Hello, I am looking to replace several electrolytic capacitors in a Traynor TS-200 solid state amplifier, Yorkvill Sound LTD, 1978. The 2 large power filter capacitors found inside are MEPCO/ELECTRA, 3110JC123U075, 12000MFD, 75WVCD. I have the original electrical diagram that came with the unit. On the diagram it shows the capacitors to be “6000uF @ 75V”. From the overall appearance and age of the capacitors it looks to be a factory install. If I were to replace these capacitors I understand that the exact specs are not necessarily essentail as long as voltage is the same or higher and capacitance is in the ballpark. Can anyone with experience or knowledge of vintage equipment like this give an opinion on what modern capacitor they would use to replace these? Thank-you
We can certainly take a look.
Would you be able to measure the diameter and height of these?
For items that are 6000-12000µf that are 75v or more.
The below link shows the items we list.

Diameter = 50mm
Height = 100mm
This one looks like it will fit and has screw terminals but ouch, the price

This one will work but you’ll need to solder it in and it’s much smaller so you’ll need to rig up a way to hold it in place
