Suitable Replacement for Vintage Astron Caps

Post by 67supertrem »

Forgive me this question has been posted before.

I am looking for current manufactured capacitors that are sonically the same or similar to the Orange paper & oil Astron MiniMite and MF caps. I need to replace a few in my Tweed Deluxe and Champ amps.

Please feel free to weigh in.

Thanks!

Or S0Z0 blue caps.

They have had issues before with long delivery times so you might want to check that out before ordering.

I vote for Jupiter caps if you want it to look original and sound good. Otherwise 6ps orange (if you are not going to to stare at them).
