[Amps] SB-220 Capacitor Bank

[Carl]

Ive been using CDE 381LX 330 uF/450V caps for close to 20 years in that amp 
for customers. They fit the blocks perfectly, are higher capacity for 
improved peak regulation, 105 degree C and half the length of the originals. 
Mouser stocks them.

There is no need to waste time or money on alternative mounting using them.
