FYI:

The cap I opened up was labelled 4 x 20uF @ 475V.

You can peel off the metallic label and see the original, stamped in markings and also a 4 digit date code, giving week and year.

The code on my example indicated manufacture in 1963.

The insides were green with corrosion and several aluminium connecting straps ware eaten right through. The core of the cap was dry as a bone.

A customer had built a clone of the Fender Princeton Reverb amp. He purchased the cap along with other parts including a stainless steel chassis from the USA.

The amp was delivered to me in May 2013 suffering from loud hum and motor boating - since none of the electros inside the can worked.

BTW:

Go **** yourself.
