Iam in need of and on the hunt for some .33MFD 100Volt Nonpolarized Capacitors they were a bugger to find 15 years ago and Im sure are a bigger pain to obtain now. I had gotten several of these Capacitors and some other items from Tech America 15 or 16 years ago but they soon after sent a letter explaing they could no longer sell to me as they only sold to businesses "Radio Shack" anyways can someone help me find a source or even a substitute thats guaranteed to work in its place . I beeen looking online and this must be an older oddball Cap value I seem to go through this everytime I dive into projects LOL!! Thanks for any help locating these or an working substitute.
 

IIRC, Grangiers might have them.

What is the application?

...If space isn't a problem, you can tie two like valued electrolytic caps together to roll your own. You will need two 100uf/100v electrolytic caps; the solder the negative leads together. That will equal a 50uf non-polarized cap. Should be close enough for a starter motor; but not right for a resonant circuit...

EDIT:

Didn't see the .33uf value until after I posted. Same goes for the .33 tho. You will need two 1uf/100v electrolytics to get .50uf.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
