Well, aside from the obvious reasons, it’s probably not the greatest idea to replace one old-age failed capacitor with another old-age capacitor! ;)

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? Does anyone have spares?
