Two other possibilities: Jameco http://jameco.com/ Apache Reclaimation & Electronics, about 3rd Av & Apache St (immediately north of Maricopa Fwy). 33 uf is a standard part, so I'm surprised Tri-Tek didn't have it. BTW, that stripe on one of the leads is very likely a polarity indication. Just match the new one to the marking on the board. Gene
