Default Source for high voltage electro caps

I am looking for a source for high voltage electrolytic caps. I have a pre-amp project and noticed a few of the electrolytics are getting old, puffy and leaking. Specifically, I have checked at several surplus places, DigiKey,Mouser, Allied,Wellborne Labs, Electrosonic and Active electronics. The values I am looking for are: 1uF @ 450 volts - axial style.

thanks,

Paul

Electronic surplus stores like AllElectronics, ApexJr. or Electronic Goldmine.

Not sure why you couldn't find them at Mouser, they've got two different ones in stock.

Thanks for the suggestions...Radtech, I appreciate the pointer to Mouser...I could not find them previously...old age I guess. Thanks for your patience.

Regards,

Paul
