 I have a vintage cry baby that has a couple of the caps and the tdk inductor damaged. Son wanted to help daddy when daddy wasn't there. These are radial  layered,(looks rolled) with silver outer color and a red stripe  towards one end. Markings are 5410  .01uf/10% and  20-8466-1  .22uf/10%. The inductor has tdk molded into the plastic and 5103stamped on it in black ink. Is this a series or specific value part and where might I find a replacement for it.

any polyester of 0.01uF or 0.22uF would do the JOB (some cheaper than others)

there are at least 3 inductors I know:
Yellow Fasel
Red Fasel
Halo
Richon - Ricardo
Viña del Mar
Chile

the TDK inductors are nothing special.
How did it get damaged?

We can name some replacements, but they'll likely sound different/better.

Red fasel is great, I've used it heaps.  I hear the "Whipple" inductor is the Holy Grail of inductors, though.  They will both
sound better than the TDK, from what I've read here.  Search for youtube comparisons, a guy named "Gearmanndude"
(yep, two n's in that) might do a shootout with them, if not he does great demos anyway.  :)

If you want to keep it original I have a TDK 5103 inductor and 2ea.  .01 caps that
are the same as they used in the 70s pm me if interested
