After...a year I've finally gotten around to dismantling the 5154 to deal with it's failed caps which turned it into an impressive smoke machine last year.
Fortunately it is only the 2 filter caps that have gone, all the rest still look fine.
The originals are WIMA MP3 0.1uf.
I found almost the same caps on ebay...just at 0.15uf which I thought would be close enough, but then realised those are larger 25mm spacing caps and I need 15mm components to go in the 5154.
I've not been able to find exactly the same WIMA caps anywhere on ebay, and am struggling to find anything at around 0.1uf in 15mm from UK stock.
Is the capacitance particularly critical as I've found these on ebay at 0.22uf?
