Sometimes, "experimentation" brings very-fruitful results! As Im sure your already aware, a old-timer vintage radio repairman taught me many yrs ago, it is always OK to increase your 8 uF type caps to higher uF ratings if necessary, just as long as you use the proper voltage ratings required and/or increase them also. The more "uF's" ,... the lower the hum-level will be! That can be a very-good thing in quieting-down a vintage set for improvement, than actually following orig schemats and parts lists! Remember, back in those days, the mfgrs line workers many-times "chunked-in" whatever parts would work that was avail on the assembly lines ( in stock at the time of orig assembly),..that was even "close" to recommended specs in orig schemats "uF's",.. just as long as the voltage ratings were correct! I have also purchased chokes from AES in the past and they always worked great when needed. Perhaps Ron or Chuck will help more with exact details specifics of your restoration. Good luck on your restoration!!
