    JBL SA 660 amp repair parts

    I need two capacitors in the phono circuit for a SA 660 amp I am working on. Can I still get some original parts. The larger 160mfd made by holland to the left and the 25mfd are the silver sprague caps in the middle to the right.
    What would you recommend for substitutes?

    I would try Low ESR types from either Panasonic or Nichicon. Great caps for a decent price. Electrolytics don't have a great shelf life. Originals being at least 30 years old would not be a good idea.
    Try Digi-key

    Hi Gary
    like mentioned by "LE15", "Originals being at least 30 years old would not be a good idea"..... Neither would it be good to mix new components with almost perfect tolerences with originals at least 30 years old +10/-30% dryed out Caps ect.. Reality is that you should get more components checkked and changed to make sure that there is balance in the design after the repair.
