I’m rotating between 3 repair jobs, just finished restoring one of my own, and started on my only Zenith robot dial radio, a 12S245.
I’ve got most of the film caps replaced.
Rounding up the electrolytics.
My question is, it calls for 3x 10uF at 25v. All I have on hand are 10uF at 160v. Is the voltage rating too high to be safe to use? Should I order lower voltage rating replacements?

Blessings,
