While Dave searches for this, does anyone else maybe have one available? On the Model 4, it’s C21 on the Astec #AA11320 power board, 0.1µF, 250V AC, metalized. Spacing on the leads is about 18mm? I should probably replace it with a polyester version if available. How about this one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/183852327087 Thoughts? Bob Shuster

Until now! Power supply filter cap on a TRS-80 Model 4. So where do you guys go for parts? I?m not looking to stock up, just need some one-offs (probably the X caps.) Do you just go to Mouser or Digi-Key?

Mouser or DigiKey.

Does anyone have spares?

I have tens of thousands of capacitors here. What do you need?
