Heyoop ! Got a Hot rod Deluxe on the bench with leaky caps. Where are the good local (NZ) based suppliers to get this stuff from now. Ryan used to supply me everything I could ever need in good time at good prices but I'm not so sure he is doing that stuff now days. Spose I could flick him a email..? See he is still listing a swag of stuff on TM.

Where do you guys get your electronic supplies from at the mo ?

RS Components or Element 14. Last time I got a swathe of 450V caps it was element14

I just remembered Mouser do free shipping to NZ over $66NZD too

Cheers Thanks Man. Will look them up now. Is Mouser actually NZ based or ship from overseas ?

Mouser or RS both good options

Element14 do o'nite from Aus normally. Mouser 3-4 days ex States. RS do 2 days normally, they have a NZ warehouse. Check the stock lead times item by item, sometimes they come from far out warehouses and take longer to arrive..

which version is your amp? does it have 2x 100uF and 3x 22uF?
I have caps at my Howick workshop.

1 x47 and 3 x 22 uf. Its a Mexi 60th Tweed jobbie.
I'd more than happy for you to supply. Keep it in the NZG family and all that.

47uF 450v $7, 22uF 450v $5 each.
Good quality with axial leads. (wire on each end)
I use these all the time.
PM me for Ph number if you want some.
I also have nice 1, 2 & 3 watt metal oxide resistors, pots and loads of other service components.

If you're not in a super hurry, aliexpress have a ton of electronic supplies, and cheap as chips too, the bulk of that stuff is manufactured in china anyway....

Fleabay is where I get a lot of electronic parts stuff these days - usually someone in China that does free (or dirt cheap) shipping. All sorts available: Sprague orange drops, silver micas, lectros, everything.

So Jaycar is a no go then? I need to buy some small conponents for a couple of amp mods soon.

Jaycar have some shit. Rs-online or whatever it is that jb pointed me to are one of those arsehole businesses that advertise their shit as "in stock" when it isn't in stock, and it's sitting somewhere overseas.
My switch took almost two weeks to get here.

Post was free, but it's still false advertising.

Thats shit. Might go with a more reputable source as mentioned above. Quality is important to me and I dont mind waiting a bit longer for it if it doesn't suck.
