Hi,
I was going to purchase in the UK some ASC X386s capacitors from RS components, but they have now stopped selling them, I have been talking to the ASC factory and they don't distribute here, and I have been talking to a company in NY and they have finally come back with a price about 3 times the RS sale price I was looking at :-(
Any ideas where you might get some at a sensible / fair price?

Hey - has anyone tried these as an alternative, they are resin filled so possibly also benefit from inherent mechanical damping like the oil filled ones.

I have a factory case of Shizuki 40uF 440VAC which I doubt I'll ever use . Suitable alternatives are the Wima or Vishay DC link caps which are inexpensive and compact , these will easily fit under the chassis .
How many caps do you have ?I have a factory case of Shizuki 40uF 440VAC which I doubt I'll ever use . Suitable alternatives are the Wima or Vishay DC link caps which are inexpensive and compact , these will easily fit under the chassis .
