One note:
>> It is important to match or exceed the voltage rating of old caps,
Only if you do not want to know what voltage really the caps working with.
For example, Philco, obviously for the reasons of the uniformity, stuffed most of its backelite caps with 600V types. However many work with voltages of tens of volts at most.
Of course using 600V across the board will rid you of the necessity to think of what cap needs what voltage.
