Hi Chas

The actual 0.33uF capacitors used in the 50W PA come from Digikey and are part number 1572-1218-ND - they currently have large stock for immediate shipment and shipping is $4.99 as usual.

I have lost/misplaced the 2 .33uf caps for my 50wpa kit and am looking at replacements.
Is this an equivalent substitute? or is there another specification I am unaware of?

These are called 'blocking' capacitors by Hans in the assembly manual- is that the same as a coupling capacitor as they allow AC current to pass, but block DC?

Thanks,
