Hello Gents,
Appears to be difficult to source the reservoir caps for the 665-VXi. Pin distance has to be 22 mm (of which there are few...most of them are 10 mm). I found cornell dubilier 8200uF 80V with this pin distance but the diameter of 40 mm is just a tad TOO big. I could drill an extra hole on the PCB and go for a 10 mm pin distance one. Any suggestions on the brand or just use a quality brand like nichicon, Panasonic or Elna etc....?

The pins for solder the cap to the pcb are usually riveted with aluminim rivets through the base material underside. Sometimes when I had this issue, using a medium gripper I rotated the pins (snap in type) around the rivets and could solder it troubleless. This enables you to obtain about +/- 3 or 4 mm more or less the original position.
