[AMPS] Oil capacitor mounting

[wd0ct@networksplus.net (Steven Moore)]

Hi David,

I would think it would increase the chance for a leak. The sangamo in my
buddie's Loudenboomer lays down and is now leaking from around the crimp on
top.
         Anybody have a suitable replacement for sale? Here are the
measurements and specs: 8mfd at 3000 volts
                                    case length is 7-1/2 inches
                              overall length is 8-3/4
                                    width is         3-5/8
                                     height is       4-1/2
                        terminal spacing is     2
These measurements would be for an ideal replacement. If he removes the
original mounting brackets then other sizes would fit. He wants to keep it
as stock as possible.

connections (insulated posts) facing down. Is this OK? The cap has no PCB's
but is there an increased chance of leakage?
