Check it out http://plexireplicas.com/amplifier-arch ... full-image

Metro guy uses those bigass cool ceramics, and I wish to know where to find them... I'm also after couple of plexi era Marshalls

Values needed are 50pf (47-56pf) 250pf (240-270pF) and 500pF (470-560pF)

Looks like some Murata caps I've scavenged from old TV sets and radios.
I don't know if they are still in production :scratch:

Got the values, but not the same look.

you can look for a 1kv rated c0g are k7r. that will come in the size you need.

I know sprague made a bunch of ceramic caps like that. I got a whole bunch in an estate sale at one point.
