Howdy. Well, I'm getting around to re-capping this thing...and need to order some caps. This is the first thing I have worked on that has been worked on, and maybe goofed up, by somebody else. There are a few replaced filter capacitors that seem to be what the schematic calls for. It specified 2 - 20 mfd electrolytic caps, but the schematic did not mention voltage. At some point, they have apparently been replaced with a 50mfd and an 80mfd (multi-cap, can't see a voltage on it, either). First of all, would there be any reason to do this (replace with 50 & 80mfd)?...and second, I was going to order new 20mfd, 450volt electros. Any reason to think these won't be ok (voltage wise)? Thanks in advance for the advice.
