Default Audio amp replacement filter caps ???

Ok, I did a test on the one suspect cap after testing A/C leakage on a
live circuit. Three of the caps had 15 to 29 mv, but one had approx 6
V on it. That was certain to be heard in the amp output. So to prove
it, I took two 4700MFD at 47VDC caps and tied them in series accross
the bad cap. Bingo, very quiet amp.

My problem is that the cap measures 2 inches diameter, 3 inches tall,
and is 22000 mfd at 35vdc good for 85C. Computer grade, with screws at
the top.

I have not found any that are good for the size. WHen I get a good
value on the electrical end, I can't fit it in the space that I have.
The way the caps are situated, I have no room to go bigger in any
direction.


2 D X 3 H min of 220000MFD at 35VDC Screw terminal at the top.

Anybody have a good source for a decent price on a cap like this?
