apparently you can still buy RIFA capacitors; they're owned by kemet now

i don't know why on earth you would ever want to though. they're notorious for being horrendously unreliable and dangerous

kemet/yageo otherwise makes pretty good capacitors though, get a lot of mlccs from them and they also make some nice high-voltage high-capacitance electrolytics (we're talking like 220 μF 550 V capacitors for not even all that much money, i think they were like $5 each)

dunno why they would want to buy a company like rifa that's known primarily for making capacitors that explode
