Title: Where to buy Capacitors for DIY projects
Post by: Gravityman on July 29, 2017, 01:10:37 PM: Hey guys, Im looking where I can find 1uF Metal Film (Polyester) non box type and preferrably less than 100V ? I tried epektos, alexam megamall, and deeco.

Actually I was able to find a few in Alexan, the only problem is that i use these in pedals so the higher rated voltage caps don't fit.. I guess i'll have to order from rs components.. Thanks for the input! :)
