I have called around and searched google and can't find a non-polar 350v 1UF capacitor.
I need 3 of them. Anyone know where I can order them from?

You dont have to get it from them..
you could try the polarized like Peale say's
but i couldn't get good results when i tryed that!!
As i was using O-scope to measure it.
It needs to be spot-on for best results.

Replace the NP 1 uf 350v
with np 1uf 100vs
these were able too pass the signal good and not burn up!

I couldn't wait till doomes day to get the Np @350vs
happ didn't know where they are either.

Also I have found the polarized C25,C26,c27 bulged so i added them to the cap kit
for best results..
 
I replaced the NP 1 uf 350v with a np 1uf 100v and boom the green came back to life!
I tested the cap that I pulled on an ESR meter and it was definitely bad....
It is really strange because I put the red signal through the green line and the red came through perfect.

Thanks for the Help!
 
I'm glad that the 100V ones worked. Wonder why they completely overrated the caps like that.

Looking at the schematic Ohmerone posted, I'd be metering that line the cap is in.....seeing exactly how much juice is flowing through it. There's quite a few higher voltages in that circuit.

I ended up using a Mylar 400v 1uf (nonpolar) for the one NP cap that was dead. It isn't pretty but it should work until I get the correct non-polar caps.

I did find a place that will sell the correct electrolytic, non-polar, radial, 350v 1uf but they have a $50 order minimum (20 of the caps) plus shipping . Unless anyone else wants to split the cost, I am going to wait....

Let me know if someone can use half the order... so it would be 10 of the caps (NP 1uf 350v Radial) for $25 plus shipping.
