Thanks for the tips Andy, I've got my Magnavox Hi-Fi powering up now.. Only place that sells Capacitors locally is Radio Shack. A bit expensive. I was able to find a few of the right values, replaced about five or six of them and than it powered on.. Im going to order a bunch at the end of the month from Digi-Key.. I've got a few machines that have the fuse burnt out in them, I wonder if those are going to have other problems other than the caps?

speaking of fitting issues, the 1000uf caps from radio shack were bigger than the ones in the vcr, the section with the three of them all didn't fit, so one of them i had to solder about a inch high from the circuit board, and taped around the leads and lower part of cap with electrical tape, I may end up replacing those with a smaller sized, once I order from Digi-Key.. I got most of the smaller caps replaced on that VCR, all of the original bigger sized caps with high values and/or voltages are still in the VCR. They go for over a buck a piece on digi-key.

There's a cap that's in most of these older models valued at 120uf at 200v, Digikey doesn't have that value with the same voltage, they have one at a higher 250v, and they are 2 bucks a piece, I don't want to order a bunch of the same cap that won't fit or work..
