I'm having some slow start up issues with my LP-12.....a sign that the main power capactiors are no longer holding a charge.

I will need (3) 47uf 250 capacitors. Any idea of the exact type and where to order them from?

Linn no longer supports the Vallhalla.

Asgard---Asgard, in Norse mythology, the abode of the gods. Access to Asgard was possible only by crossing the bridge Bifrost (the rainbow). Asgard was divided into 12 or more realms in which each principal god had his own luxurious mansion of gold or silver. The most important palace was Valhalla, the home of Odin, the chief of the gods. Joking aside I doubt that there is anything special about the caps in question. Here are some suitable replacements at Mouser may be a bit to large physically --What is the measured length and diameter?

The caps on my Valhalla board are branded "Elite."
I'll have to take a measurement of the size. Thanks for the info!

I would replace with 350v versions and also consider changing the bridge rectifier to a 1A version (original items had a habit of failing) and fit a thermistor if you have an early version without. Circuits are available on vinyl engine.
