I have been looking around everywhere I can possibly think of for a certain capacitor, and I haven't been able to find it. I decided to post to the net and hope that someone out there either has one or can lead me to a place where I can get one. Here is a description of what I am looking for: A cylindrical electrolytic capacitor with the following characteristics: 360VDC 440uF physical dimensions: (can be slightly smaller, but NOT larger) diameter: 1 inch length : 2.5 inches I have tried all the electronic outlets in my area and even called the manufacturer of the piece of equipment that I am trying to repair, and nobody seems to be able to come up with one. I know I posted this using 'world' distribution. Since the piece of equipment I have is made of all German parts, I figured that someone in Europe might be able to get one. If you can locate one, please reply via e-mail so I can make shipping arrangements with you (if necessary).

You haven't specified enough about the capacitor, but probably a regular Mallory TCW or FP would serve. Note that slightly greater working voltage and/or capacity would probably not hurt (e.g. 450uF@400WVDC). If aluminum capacitors are too big, then try tantalum.
