200MFD 450 WV capacitors

Does anyone know where I can get some good fresh 200 MFD 450 WV capacitors for my L-4B power supply?
It hasn't been run in about 13 years and I thought I would put in some new caps but I can't seem to find any.

Jim, have you checked Mouser? Otherwise, you can get 100-uF, 450-V caps from www.justradios.com. Put four of them in parallel.

CORRECTION: Put two 100-uF caps in parallel, not four.

If the caps are radial types you can check at www.mouser.com and check for the part number of
75-TVA1720

Doc's done his homework, as usual. Even if the original caps aren't radial, you should be able to make radials fit?

These are surely the mother of all e-caps. Don't get your screwdriver across the terminals when the cap is charged - you'll have a welding machine on your hands!

Jim: I'm not sure what style you need for the Drake, but RF Parts has a good selection. I assume you are looking for electrolytics. They have 220's at 450V in twist lock cans. Check the bottom of the webpage at: http://www.rfparts.com/caps_hdfilter.html#twist
Otherwise, I'm sure someone at Dayton will have them somewhere.
