Hey all,
I am looking for a suitable replacement for the 64 mf 10v cap coming off of pin 3 of the EL84 tube. I can't find one online. If I am reading the values incorrectly please let me know. I appreciate any help you can give me! Smile Mike

I read it as 64 uf and found this http://www.amazon.com/CAPACITOR-ALUMINUM-ELECTROLYTIC-68UF-RADIAL/dp/B007Z7RYPK/ref=sr_1_3?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1401321999&sr=1-3

The value of this capacitor is not critical.

You can use any value from 47uF to 100uF off the cathode of the EL84 without greatly affecting the sound quality.

The only change I would make would be to buy a 25v rated cap.....much easier to find than a 10v example.
