Got bored today so took my 37-690 apart
#15

I will!
I have a question, in planning stages at the moment. Several of the electroylitcs in this set are 475 or 500V. No problem, I'll order that rating ... except that I can't seem to find any 2 or 3uf caps with a 475 or above rating.
I could use 630v metallized polypropylene caps but as I plan to stuff the original cans, space might become an issue.

On the 2 and 3 uf caps, what should I do? Series two (4+4) and (6+6) electrolytics of a lower voltage rating? Or can I get away with standard 450v caps in the place of these 475s ...? Thinking not, but I have not done this set before and don't know.

Thanks!
