I have been looking around on the web for replacement filter caps for my early 70's Ampeg V4. The web keeps leading me to the Fliptops web page. They offer a quite pricey recap kit for $105 that has the close cap values and they are the insulated twist lock style can cap as well. But I can't find info on the manufacturer of these 70 40 40 can caps. They also offer another version of the kit using F & T caps which I would prefer to use as well as it is only $89. But I am assuming these are not the same style as my originals with the twist lock as well as the outer insulated. What makes this amp circuit a bit different is the series/parallel config. and values of the filtering. I do not need to go into this for you seasoned guys that already know what I am talking about here.
Anyone have experience with these generic looking can caps from Fliptops?

Here's the kit using F & T's

Then they have this can cap individually that is actually the correct multi X 3 for what my amp has, but it is not in the kit?? And freakin' pricey as well as no known name brand manufacture??

Some questions for you experienced techs who have possibly worked on a few of these old Ampegs?
