Which Electrolytic Caps for Grommes Little Jewel?

[repeatclicks]

Hello all,

I need to replace the electrolytic capacitors for my 1958 Grommes Little Jewel amp with modern ones, but I don't know which ones to buy!

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

Most any modern caps of the right voltage and value will be fine. But since they don't cost much more, I usually choose the ones rated for 105 deg C for a bit more margin. Modern ones are MUCH smaller for the same voltage and value, so some will open up the can and fit replacements inside. I usually just disconnect it and put the replacements on a terminal strip underneath.

+1 on the 105c caps. They're only a small amount more, and the rating for higher temperature can't really be a bad thing when they will be living next to so much heat.
