+Finally, there was the 100uf axial capacitor. I wasn't happy with the result of that one either. It came in at 87uf and 2.6 Ohms ESR.
-I had a replacement which read as: ??? which was much better. However it wasn't an axial part. So I had to be a little creative. I used the leg of a rubbish Suntan capacitor to extend the negative leg of my replacement.
