Martin,
Earlier this year, I posted here on amps, the name of the Capacitor
supplier in Floriday for the Henry HF amplifiers I've repaired. You'll
have to go back and search through the archives. I've lost the address of
the company a short while back
cheers

I would use it in a heartbeat, Martin. As long as it will physically fit
that is. Ripple current in well designed choke input power supply is
pretty
much a "don't care". It's not at all like a cap input supply where you
are
deliberately brutalizing the cap.
