In this video I replace the filter capacitors on a Marantz 2250B, but this video is certainly applicable and/or relevant to many other vintage receivers!

This 2250B is getting a full restoration, so check out my channel if you'd like to see other videos about restoration!

If Mouser doesn't have the capacitor you need, also check digikey.com.

IF YOU CAN'T FIND THE RIGHT SOLDER TERMINAL-STYLE FILTER CAPACITORS, what you can do is search by "snap in" termination, find one with the right specs, and then buy some ring terminals to crimp/solder onto the capacitor snap in pins. That way you can easily attach wires to the ring terminals just like a solder lug. Or, you can buy screw terminal capacitors and crimp a ring terminal to each wire.
