that'll work too!

if you guys want the higher one that i have available (35,000mfd at 40v) for
$5.95 and is the exact same size as original also made by Mallory, email me
privately and i don't mind sending you guys some especially since Bob($12.50
i think on his site) is down for awhile i take it!!

let me know if you guys want some,
Kelly
