    Picked up a Fisher 400 - need a source for one part

    A little help over here?

    Can anybody help me find one of these: Having a bear of a time finding anything close in value, without having to also change resistors. I'm not electronic enough to start understanding what I'm doing, but I can definitely change out caps and such. Fisher 400 BTW Thanks, Steven
