Is there a current source for those big blue Caps in the M400 Power
Supply, 1600 and 2500uF - 40 volt, respectively? I've spent the weekend
trying to track some down, and while I can match the capacitance and
voltage, they don't come anywhere near the size of fitting in the
mounting straps of the originals.
John,
 
I know this will be a bitter pill so you had better sit down.  Wait for it...................they don't make the blue ones anymore....................and...............you are going to have to change the straps on the SMS2.  There was no other way to break it to you.  Pour yourself a stiff Frank Stickle and relax.
 
Best,
 
Martin
ps perhaps a flaccid FS would be more the thing.
