try vibroworld.com and if all else fails I would suggest to use single caps of separate values and wire them as needed (if space allows).
Good luck! (I also believe you can ask for custom built multi-section caps)

btw, for what kind of audio amp is this for? :)

cat ! how are you :)
the cap is for a motorola valve amp that i ve been playing with lately :)
Its an old amp from the 60s, 2.1 (2 chanels with 4 6bm8s and the bass channel 6bq5 and 12ax7 tube) + pair of klipsch speakers.

The original filter cap is 40-40-30 @ 400 100@25 4 section cap, but no where to be found in existance anymore. wanted to at least keep the original look and get a 3 section cap can on top and use a single cap hidden on the bottom.

I m very slowly learning about tubes, and even got myself a simple eico 635 tester :)
will probably have to rebias the amp after replaccing all the electrolytics since i have a little glow in one of the 6bm8s

VERY slow learning curbe and frustrating sometimes, but it sounds very nice :) Probably, not audiophile quality... but i love listening to it. (till the glowing tube came up)

how have you been cat ?

Hello firedog! :)
I've been very good thank you (even though turning 30 has been terrible on my gut) ;)
I must admit to be very surprised to hear you are interested in audio electronic. I thought your interest was more toward things with motors and guns. :P
Glad to hear we share another hobby and I hope you will find what you are looking for. When I have more time, I'll show you by email what I've been working with recently.

Take care! Miss ya lots!

*hugs* 30 is not so bad ! better than 40 or 50... :P but we will get there.

I`m a random dog, been wanting a tube amp for years, but never wanted to spend the money.. nor know what to buy.
I ll love to see what you have been to ! please, don`t forget to show me.

un abraso !
