Anyone been able to find such rare beasties as 500pf and 5nf caps around?
Or any Mallory 150s?

Re: Caps for valve junior mods
depending on the voltage rating required, most electronic shops will have them.
Mallorys are just metallized polyester, which is the standard now a days if you buy a cap in the 5nF range it will be this type. If you insist on mallorys I think custom audio boutique has them.
dse only has lower voltage stuff. Otherwise jaycar should have something suitable.
If i was modding the VJ the first thing I would do would be bypass the 1M resistor in the signal path with a cap or remove it. When driven by a pedal you could vary this cap to get different degrees of tone, from marshall to more modern sounding.
