Default DC Link film caps in power supplies

The caps at mouser appear to be 47uF x MKP polypropylene rated for
1,000Vdc which will work fine for tube supply rails up to 700Vdc .
Probably they have a large footprint area, short and fat to go into
modern gear cases which tend to be not very high for SS PCB boards.

But they don't work very well with your wallet.

Well, ebay has similar for $12.50 USD, ($11.69 australian dollars) They are
used, but if this type is 'self-repairing' and have
60,000 hours life span, used may be ok.
( ebay item 350452382556 )

I ask because I don't know if they are appropiate for PS use. Sorta like motor
START caps are no good, even though
they are caps with the right voltage, etc.

The caps on eBay would make an excellent tube amp power supply. Still expensive
compared to electros, but better in just about every way.
