Capacitor hunt!
I have an old piece of equipment that needs new filter capacitors. The existing ones have the following notation on the side.
GOOD-ALL
TYPE-522M
.1 MFD.
1600 V.D.C.
446
This is an axial lead capacitor with a line radially at one end (ground?). Its about 2 inches long and 3/4" in diameter. Anyone know where I might find such an animal?

RE: Capacitor hunt!
Axial is the term used for the style of capacitor, ie, the leads come out of each end. Almost any capacitor you find that has the same rating and similar style, will work. The physical size doesn't matter, voltage and inductance (mfd or ufd) do. The voltage rating of what you looking for, is either related to a electric motor or not related to R/C.

Thats right Dan,
Its a filter capacitor for the power supply on a CRT. I do use my scope a lot for RC purposes though. I managed to find them at mouser.
