I want to replace the power supply caps on my Onkyo TX-1500 MKll.

Current installed caps are Marcon CE62W-C 47oouF 35WV.
Have a hard time locating a replacement for them. Anyone have a idea were I can get replacements?

You can go up a bit in capacitance (10% or so) and up in voltage by even a bit more (20-30%).
 
Specs recommended for determining replacements

capacitance
voltage
diameter
lead type
lead spacing
height
and limitations based on those physical dimension specs such as height limitations, diameter limitations and connection type/limits so replacements doesn’t require lots of work to allow soldering in place.

Use info to drill down the cap offerings at Digikey/Mouser. Post info here for folks to comment someone might approve.
note: some brands are making caps at the lower side of the rated value but within the +/-20% limit. many order next size up. Here that would be 5600 and 10% / 20% low would be 5040 and 4400 right about where the original cap would be.

as others have suggested Mouser or digikey are two good sources.

here is the listing for 4700uf 35v snap mount caps. Most likely the new caps will be physically smaller than the caps that Onkyo installed.


If you have a bracket that holds the caps in place you may try to get as close as you can to the diameter of the stock caps. If the new caps are still too small you may have to devise a shim to be able to use the newer parts.

here's a novel thought: buy new brackets.
