I Googled for "Frakus capacitors" and found nothing. Google refered
me to Frako capacitors at:
http://www.frako.com/en/products/power-capacitors/
which is a German company but which makes big power factor correction
capacitors for industrial applications that are unlikely to be found
inside a Bose Wave CD player. Are you sure about the "Frakus" name?

Google did the same with me.
