Where can I find a .68 uF electrolytic capacitor?

Doesn't have to be electrolytic. Film will work fine.

He was saying that he thought electrolytic sounded better but it doesn't have to be.. I think most people use the mustards. I was just wanting to try an electrolytic.

This is why I come here for these questions.. cause you all will tell the truth, whereas, on the guitar forums they believe in the mojo parts

If I had to guess, that cap is the cathode bypass. The cathode resistor has only a couple of volts across it.
Mylar is one type of film capacitor. Film capacitors use some type of plastic as the dielectric. Polypropylene, polystyrene, mylar, polyester...
Considering everything else going on in a tube amp, I think any of us would be hard-pressed to discern the difference between capacitor types in that location if we performed a true double-blind test. It's a fair bet that the vast majority of these "Mojo Gurus" don't even know what a double-blind test is.

Either one looks good. Mouser is the better supplier.

Good find.. I searched both places and didn't have any of these pop up.
