Philco 38-9 console - capacitor questions
#6

I think you'll be fine with 450V caps, as the voltage directly out of the rectifier heater is 315V which kinda implies that it will not reach into upper 400s.

When having installed the caps, hook up the voltmeter to the rect filament, across the 45 cap, and see were the voltage actually reaches.
Oh.... use a good capacitor with as high as possible ripple rating for #45.
The best I found is made by Panasonic with the value of 22uF 450V. The PN is EEU-EB220

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
