The Leach amps needs 2x11 film 0.1uF, 7 at 100V and 4 at 50V.
My local dealer has some nice WIMA rated 630V but asks $2.25 each !! 😱
Parts Express has these Daytons rated 400V for 79 cents each. With overseas fast airmail and I still get away 2 times cheaper.

Any reason why i shouldnt use them instead of those over-expensive WIMAs I get loco ? Thanks.

I know Daytons are big, I was thinking I can mount them vertically, but they also have a large diameter so they wont fit on the boards no matter what.
The WIMAs I was talking in the post above are FKP 1 type:

They seem to have 27mm spacing so they dont seem to fit on the board either, which i think only allows for app. 10mm.

Not on point with your question, but the Leach amp provides for two series connected electrolytic caps in the feedback. Leach says to use either one non-polar or two polars connected in series. Based on the series "Capacitor Sound" last year in Electronics World, using series connected non-polars instead of polars should offer the lowest distortion over the other two alternatives. Also, the silver micas specified might be better replaced by class 1 ceramics (NPOs). They have a more robust lead connection to dielectric than micas, and have very low distortion.
