I've been revisiting a lot of old power supplies and find that many of them have electrolytic capacitors that have gone south. The latest was a Senstron AT power supply--a very nice unit, but all of the filter caps on the output had popped their vents and were basically dry cans.
So, I'm wondering what folks would recommend for laying in a stock of replacements. I've used Nichicons and Elnas up to this point, although I do have a far stock of Spragues.
I'm thinking 220, 470, 1000, 2200 and 3300 uF, in 16 and 35 WVDC; maybe 15-20 of each.
What do you all recommend?
