I'm needing a source for Pioneer SX1250 main caps (4).

The originals are starting to leak a little, only 28 years old.

I understand leaking isn't too big a deal on these old units and that failure isn't in the equation, but just in case, is anyone making an upgraded version of these caps?

Problem is they have to be a specific size, since things are tight in the old 1250.

Here's a short list of commonly ordered parts for the SX-1250.

Don't know if your specific caps are listed there. But if you had a part number, you can look it up on the Pioneer parts site and see if they have it in stock, or get it put on backorder.

Pioneer is really good about filling parts orders, even if they're not in stock. I know of a specific instance on a faceplate being recently ordered for a very rare Japanese only LD player. There were none in stock anywhere in the world. So Pioneer tooled up and made a couple to fill the order and have a couple of spares! Now that's service.
