Getting ready to order the last of the bits-and-bobs for re-gutting my 40-190 and 40-180 chassis... finding the right capacitance e-caps wasn't too hard, but asking another nOOb question...
...the e-caps are rated at 200V for the 16uF and 350V for the 12uF. Stepping up to the 450V-rated caps won't upset any apple carts, will it? It's just a case of putting slightly burlier components in than what is currently there, if I remember my basic electronics.
