Hello,
I recently got old Cary 805b amp and want to refresh some of its caps.
It has Axon 20uf 1200v capacitors and one of them got a bit fried probably by heat from the nearby 10w resistor - so it make sense to me to start from it.
In the usual places such capacitors are not available.
Would really appreciate advise on this 🙌
Following are 2 versions of schematics of these amp.
I marked by GREEN the cap in question and by BLUE 2 other caps (i hope i got those 2 right).

This is about the best, I should say but only looked at one supplier, there are many.

I dare say the old split capacitor was caused by too high ripple current, producing over heating and failure.

Oh, those rectangular Film Capacitors can be used in this application?
I was looking for axials only assuming they made differently...

Check out the Jantzen 1200V Superior Z-Cap, if space permitted.
