MOD brand capacitors?

[Axtman]

Has anyone here had experience with MOD brand capacitors? They have vintage values and appear to be a little less expensive than F&T brand capacitors. Thanks.

I haven't used them yet, but have heard good things about them.

I typically use F&T when doing recaps for vintage Fenders, but have also used the new production blue IC caps without issue (unlike the gray version from 20+ years ago that seemed to be a bad batch in circulation).

Also the MOD caps have a 105 degree C temperature rating as opposed to F&T 85 degree C temperature rating.

Though gray Illinois caps get a bad rap, I have found very few bad ones. I trust them. It is the off brand or no name caps that I do not trust.

I've tried some of the high voltage MOD caps. So far so good. Only time will tell.

FWIW Lyle who does the Psionic video series on YT seems to be using a lot of MODs lately. So, if you choose 'em, you're in good company.

I just ordered some from Antique Electronic Supply. (crossing fingers)

I too have used them...the HV 105 deg variety. So far, so good.

Those gray Illinois caps were so bad they sold the company and the new owner switched the color to blue. Liberty, SC (January 30, 2015) – Cornell Dubilier Marketing, Inc. announced today that one of its subsidiaries has acquired the assets of Illinois Capacitor and its affiliates.
