Where would I find these?

Re: Vintage Sanyo "solid" caps

you dont.
0.1uf these days is only done using ceramic or film caps.

Re: Vintage Sanyo "solid" caps

those aren't polymer caps, they're epoxy-sealed electrolytics

Re: Vintage Sanyo "solid" caps

OK thanks.
The parts list says "solid" and another list says "BC".
I got some 50V RUBYCON YXA Series, bigger but hopefully will work.

Yes, but you can always sub polyester or polypropylene film caps.

Guessing this is for audio coupling- seen these in 70s-80s stereo equipment. That expoy seal over the bung was an attempt to extend the caps' life. They still degraded though; in certain Sansui rcvrs, they'd leak DC into the power amp, which amplified it, and cooked the speakers! You could often "offset" the offset by twiddling the volume control (woofers would "dance"); all the coupling caps thru the chain were often questionable.

If not for audio, is it for a time delay? Film caps are OK for that too.


I've used 100V MLCCs in Bestec SMPSes that have three odd 0.1u/63V electros. Never a problem, and will outlast the unit.

Yes it is audio.
C108 and a few others.
