I'm looking to replace the two large caps, and the 'Oil capacitor' in my Spy Hunter but not sure where I can get these caps?

It looks like Arcadeshop sell them here........ Arcade shop

however they only have 2 of the 3. And they don't ship to the UK anyway without a load of hassle and expense.

Anyone know of a UK source for them? Or anywhere I can get some?

TIA

I can't remember where I got the oil capacitor from. I bought a few. I'll search emails and try and remember.

Thanks guys. Using the link above I think I have located the correct 2 main capacitors, the 56,000uf 25v and the 100,000uf 16v from Digikey who will ship to the UK. Mouser only seem to have the 100,000uf cap available to buy.

Here is my Digikey basket

I am assuming that it doesn't matter that the replacement caps will be physically smaller than the originals, as long as the ratings are correct?

Anyone know for sure?

I'm struggling with the Oil Capacitor as not sure exactly what to order. The Arcadeshop version looks like this.......

Arcade shop Oil Capacitor

I think it is a 3.5uf, 440v one that I should be looking for. The only one that comes up on the Digikey site is this one, which is actually way more expensive than the other 2. The complete opposite of Arcadeshop's pricing.

Ol, if you could please find out where you got yours from that would be much appreciated.

Thanks mate. I can't checkout as it says delivery to the UK is not available. I guess he must have changed that. I have sent him a message to see if he would, anyway (y)

Do you think I will be OK with those other 2 caps from Digikey (in my basket), even though the physical size is smaller. Surely that will be alright?

Just be hard to mount I would imagine. Arcadeshop has there's specifically made to fit.

I seem to remember using a US to UK post service to get the oil caps, they probably never shipped outside of the USA.
