Another time you are going to need a high voltage capacitor (generally 1600 wv) is when you are replacing the vibrator in an old tube-type car radio. You need to replace the buffer capacitor when you replace the vibrator. If the old cap is bad, you can kiss your new vibrator good bye. My source for caps is DH Distributors of Wichita, Kansas (phone 888/684-0050 or 316/684-0050 fax). This is a one-man operation and he is sometimes hard to reach, but keep trying. He should be able to supply high voltage caps for you.
