Replacement caps for my vintage fender

[krankguitarist]

A'ite, so I just picked up a 1968 Fender showman reverb. Great sounding amp, though it's got a bit of a background hum to it. I opened up the amp and found one resistor around the filter caps that looked like it was a little fried. So I'm gonna replace that.

I'm thinkin it'd probably be a good idea to replace the filter caps as well, seeing as how the amp is nearly 40 years old. I've heard good things about sprauge atoms, though I'm open to other suggestions.

I'm also open to suggestions on WHERE to buy em...if anybody's got some useful links I'd appreciate the sharage .

Of course, I'm gonna get some new tubes for it too. I'll be putting in an order for some JJ/tesla's here pretty soon.

You can't go wrong with sprauge atoms. www.hoffmanamps.com should have them or the Illinois caps. Depending on the value and voltage rating. Here is another vendor who has sprague caps www.tubesandmore.com
