Philco 610, bakelite condenser voltage rating - rck46 - 12-29-2016

Circuit diagram for this radio is at http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel/800/M0013800.pdf



Condenser 32 is a dual 110 mmf condenser in a bakelite block. The number on the block is 8035DG. The working voltage rating for these condensers is 1200v according to the info at http://www.philcorepairbench.com/bblokcap.htm. I put 500 volt caps in this block before realizing what the listed working voltage is. Am I ok or do I need to change the caps to the higher voltage rating?

These two capacitors only see a few volts. 500 volt caps will be just fine.
