Large Lot Of Frako Vintage Capacitors- Studer A80 Marshall, Gibson

We are one of the only facilities in the Pacific NorthWest that buys, sells and restores reel to reel tape decks. We have over 35 years experience working on these units, and have the tools and test equipment to properly align and bring these decks to life.
We use MRL calibration tapes, and are dealers for ATR tape. We work on everything from mono tube machines to 2" 24 track studio decks. We are reeltoreeltech dot com!
We stock many types of ATR tape from 7" reels to 2", in several formulations. We have about 350 decks in stock at all times. If you haven't yet checked out our website, please do so. Under the 'about us' tab we have a bunch of articles regarding the 'great barn finds' that we've come across this year, netting us well over 100 decks and tons of parts.

This is one large lot of well over 100 vintage capacitors, as taken out of a mid 1970s Studer A80 24 track reel to reel tape deck. There's several different value of capacitors, from 22uF to 2200uF. The deck has 8,800 hours on it, so these cape are nicely broken in.

Looking for that vintage tone that modern day capacitors can't duplicate, never mind those stupid computer plug-ins that claim to emulate Jimmy Page's sound?
Look no further! Install these well used, and completely broken in capacitors to get that decades-old sound.
Each capacitor has the polarity clearly marked for your convenience when installing, so that even a rookie with a 200 watt soldering gun can install these.

Many hours of synergistic research were put into carefully selecting these capacitors as providing that warm sound, with lots of top end focus. Modify your amp, mixer, tape deck, or build your own custom interface box, the uses for these capacitors are endless.
Limited supply, and priced right!
Sold completely as is, with no returns.

Don't lowball me, I know what I have.

IMPORTANT: All of our items are located in Vancouver Canada, and will need to be customs cleared into the US. Our listed price includes all tariffs and customs broker charges (totalling just over 20%), however it is now mandatory to include an EIN (business number) or your SSN on the customs paperwork. No exceptions. This changed as of Aug 29, 2025 we didn't need it prior to the new regulations. Just google this for verification, every customs broker website has this new information on it now:

CBP requires documentation that includes shipment details, such as the identification of the ultimate consignee. An ultimate consignee is a person, party, or designee in the United States who will receive the shipment. The ultimate consignee is usually the buyer of the goods. CBP uses either a EIN or SSN, issued by the IRS, to identify the ultimate consignee:

Buyers in Canada see this as a domestic shipment, with no tax or duty.

• Employer Identification Number (EIN): Issued to business entities
• Social Security Number (SSN): Issued to individuals

Without an IRS number, CBP cannot identify the ultimate consignee and will not allow the shipment into the US.

We greatly value all of our clients in the US, Canada, and worldwide!
