Changed the big caps in my MC 7270

I checked there not in stock

You could go with these: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Chemi-Con/E36D800HPN473ME92U?qs=eP2BKZSCXI6ayG7gMTeRXw==

They're 47,000uF instead of the 39,000 of the originals, but that shouldn't be a problem. They're also shorter than the originals by roughly 10mm.

After waiting for the others for 45 days, I gave up and ordered these. Thanks for the tip on that.

So you only changed the 2 big caps? Did you do anything else?

I haven't done anything yet as I don't have them. One of them vented making quite a mess. The amp works and plays well, but likely makes far less than rated power.

Swapped them out - they fit perfectly. I also replaced the power switch (had an NOS one) and repaired the meter illumination.

She sings nicely!

I bought a 10pk as the other 7270 needs em as well as one of my 2500s.

I ordered the same caps for my 7270 and, as you say, they fit perfectly! My originals were ok but I thought I would order these now when I can still get them. No sense in keeping them in the box so I installed them. Glad I did-- thanks again to @lbcgav for the heads up!
