Report Review for product Capacitor - Mod® Electronics, Aluminum Electrolytic, 105°C, Axial Lead

I was recently given a Gibson Scout GA 17 RVT amplifier that had been in a barn for the last 30-40 years. I fired it up and it had a seriously loud buzz/hum at zero volume with nothing plugged in. I immediately did the standard upgrades... removed the suicide cap and installed a 3-prong grounded power cord. Next I replaced the two large electrolytic filter caps and that did the trick. The amp sounds great! The filter caps were dual capacitors (20+20 uf @ 350 volts). Hard to find! That said, AmplifiedParts had the correct values at 500 volts. The Sprague versions were out of stock so I got the MOD parts. They arrived one day earlier than predicted (which I loved) and they have been working perfectly after 20 (give or take) hours of run time. I'm really happy with Amplified Parts quick response to questions and super fast delivery. Oddly enough the axial leads were perfectly straight when I opened the package, so that's an extra plus. The rest of the amp remains original including tubes, transformers and speaker. As a side note, I've got to say that I was surprised by the excellent build quality and great tone of this vintage Gibson amp. I've always been a Fender amp guy... Looking forward to my next project and partnering with AmplifiedParts for whatever my 1969 Fender Princeton needs.
