Capacitor advise please.

[delambo]

I have stripped my TV set to repair the lack of picture. I have narrowed the fault to a capacitor on the little circuit board that plugs on the back of the cathode ray tube and links gnd1 to gnd2. There are marking on it of BN 102k 2kv. Can anyone point me in the right direction of a suitable replacement? It is an Akura ATPTV028WSS.

I had a look on Google, but I'm afraid all I could find were wholesalers, usually Chinese or American:
BN 102k 2kv - Google Search

Same as - I also checked Farnell, RS, and Maplin - none could supply me one. Ifound a local IC supplier who could get some for me but he needed a minimum order o 1000. I dont wan to write a telly off for the sake of a 10p component ut equally I dont want to spend £100 on components to fix a telly whose resale vaue is about £100 anbe stuck with a load of capaitors I don know what to do with. Might keep an eye out at the local dump and if I see a telly the same as mine I could give the atendant a fiver for the PCB the the IC is on. Only trouble with that is that is it is a common fault with this telly and bet your bottom dollar any telly at a tip will have the same fault.

Sometimes I just wish I didnt understand things, that way I would have just srapped the telly a been none the wiser!

have you tryed rapid mate Rapid Electronics - High voltage ceramic disc capacitor

Thanks for the help guys, I got one off a local TV repair guy, stuck it in and now I have a picture as well as sound! He gets hard to find stuff from Mark 5 Ltd - Home (Suppliers of obsolete electronic components) and they look pretty promising for ic's as well, also they are just down the road from me so I can go and pick stuff up.

I found a great company in Singapore (Utsource)who will sell parts with no minimum order unlike American and Chinese companys were they have minimum orders of 200 which is no use when you only need 1 or 2.
I found out about this brilliant company a few months back and so far I have managed to get ic's fets and other hard to locate components fron this company.
Only downside is that it takes about 2-3 weeks for them to arrive.
