I have a set that uses these bumble bee caps, any suggestions where I can find some replacements. thanks

That would be 50pF @ 10 kV. Are you sure it's not 500 pF ? Those are standard doorknob type caps use for TV HV filters and doublers.

Just Radios has 470pF @ 15kV http://www.justradios.com/orderform.html

I had to many zeros, the correct value is .0005/10.000volts. used in a delco tv chassis

Are these used for the high voltage filters?

If so they can be replaced with a Ceramic cap and the value isn't too critical as long as it's equal or greater.
I used a couple .001@10k Ceramic discs for that purpose.

Mouser might have something that will work.

http://www.justradios.com/ sells a .00047/15KV tubular cap that I have used in TV high voltage circuits. On their cap order form, look under the 6KV caps.

Allied Electronics also carries the ASC caps in Phil's post - cheaper, and much quicker on the shipping than justradios.

$3.28 for Allied's 225-6085. I realized that's where they got them from when I got my last Allied order - same date and lot codes as justradios.

I also check out Allied's Clearance ("Excess Inventory") stuff - I got a lot of resistors and caps dirt cheap in early December from them. I'm set for now!

Cheers,

Hey thanks for the info; these caps are in my Delco tv-71 set.
