Philco 118 - Cap 46 - Use Electrolytics or Film?
#4

When I dissected Capacitor 46 for restuffing, it looks to me like it is a four-section electrolytic. There is a thick common foil, and individual thick foils for each section. The separator between the foils is a thick moist layer that looks like cheesecloth and paper. It is MOIST, not dry. Most paper caps that I have seen use thinner foil and wax paper separators - and they are dry.

Does anyone know of any reason I cannot simply use 4.7mfd @ 450 volts for all four sections?
