Need some replacement reservoir caps for a power amp. Nothing special -
just 10,000uF at 63v. RS have them from about 4 quid to about 50.

Old amp so not PCB mounted - just wires to them and plenty space so not
restricted to an identical part - which isn't made now anyway.

Best make to go for? Is a 50 quid one really worth it?

If you apply the RS product filters to select max temperature of 85C and
reject screw terminals, you are left with only three choices: £4.13,
£4.28
and £6.15, all equally suitable.


Did you mean to say "reject max temperature of 85C"?

Otherwise there are some for as little as £2.40

I thought this was for resale, so a 85C would be suitable, otherwise I
would generally go for 105C if any semblance of reliability is required.

No I meant reject 105C as I see no necessity for it. I don't believe
that 85C capacitors from a reputable make lack "any semblance of
reliability".

The £2.40 ones are for bulk buys.
