Hey   I have a question after reading about safety caps in the line filtering.  I've restored a 90 and 2 18s and I've noticed the line filter caps are all .015uf.  The new safety caps only come in a few values.  Can we just go to the safety cap nearest the original schematic value i.e.  .01 for .015?  Thanks for any responses

Dick
