I need a combo electrolytic cap with values as follows: 2500 ufd and 1000 ufd @75V. This is used in a old Fisher tuner/amp. In the power supply section. Seperate caps will be good to!!. Can anyone point me in the right direction to obtain these parts... Thank you..... Rich
What problem are you facing? These capacitors are readily available in the market. If you want to make 2500uF out of 470uF or so connect around 5 of them in parallel and for 1000uF connect two in parallel.
From your description, it sounds like an old vertical can type with both capacitors inside the single can. This may be a problem to replace directly but the parts are available individually. One source:

has them in the Panasonic TS series for around $5 each.
Another source is TV repair shops that have been around awhile - if you can even find one - there aren't many repair shops anymore.
I'm betting you have a loud hum, leaking capacitors (waxy goo at the base) - maybe both. As you repair the unit, you might also check a large resistor in the same area as the capacitor - sometimes they also blow. Please remember that capacitors store lots of power and should be handled carefully.
