Re: Vitamin Q caps - who what when where why?

Actually, Vitamin Q is a brand, or at least a particular variety within a brand; it is not a generic catch-all term. Simply look in supplier catalogs for Vitamin Q to discover if that supplier carries them (or use Google, Ask, or most any other www Search feature). But they are a specialty variety, not at all what you would want for retaining original voicing. Since that age of amplifier probably used Mylar (Dupont's trademark name for polyester) construction for coupler-duty capacitors, for this purpose you would want new metalized polyester film capacitors (not polypropylene or polystyrene or teflon, for example) such as mfg by Sprague, Mallory, Illinois, Xicon, & others.
