Ed,

this is a portable so I am not sure what space you got there; if possible we try using film caps instead of electrolytics.
Also, when choosing the first filter cap, if it is electrolytic (the one right after the rectifier - there may be a resistor in between, around 80-90 Ohms) make sure it is about double in its ripple current rating vs the current consumption.
I have a similar setup in my Zenith 7G605 and the current out of the rectiifier is about 75mA (could be a bit less in your case) so I chose the one with the Iripple about 150mA.
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.
