Looks like PCX is out of the 100 uF 250-v True caps and they just told me that they won't be restocking.

Anybody else have any alternate sources for these?

Thanks,

Jim

Michael Percy Audio in Nevada City, CA has Axon caps. I have always had good look buying there, but I have also seen the occasional complaint about slow response times, etc.  I always used email to communicate.

His catalog is here: http://percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf . The Axon and Solen caps are on page 6.

Thanks -- I didn't even think to check there.  I have bought from Percy several times and have never had a problem but didn't know he carried the Axon caps.

Thanks again,

Jim

The Axons are mixed in with the regular Solon caps in the Percy catalog.
Usually if Michael doesn't respond in 24 hours, I send a second email. I'm here in Ca and sometimes I'll get my order the next day! Usually, I have to wait a whole 2 days!
Most of the problems with slow response times is when he's on vacation. It appears that he's a one man show.
