Restoration is an Addiction
When working on vintage Marantz receivers many of us build our own power switch snubbers, putting together a cap and resistor. Some opt for the expensive all-in-one option from Cornell at over $8 US when buying singles. It looks more like the original and neater most of the time.
After much research I found another option that's probably a little more expensive than the build your own option but definitely cheaper than the Cornell option.

This version from Kemet is currently only $1.63 US when buying singles and gets MUCH cheaper in bulk. It has all the right specs for many except that I know some like the resistance to be 120 or 150. This one is only available in 100. The spec sheet has a 150 but doesn't come up at Mouser or Digikey. [EDIT: see post below for links to 150 ohm version]
The reason this eludes searches is because Mouser doesn't list the resistance. I had to take a deep dive into spec sheets to find this. The voltage handing (both VAC and VDC is better than the Cornell part).
I'm including pics of the markings for those interested. Hope this helps some of my fellow AKers.
