I might consider this if:

1. I could find a single 8uF (8.2uF) 450V/500V cap that is not a Solen and with decent ripple rating. Here's Mouser search for it:
(8 - 8.4uF 450V - 540V)

https://www.mouser.com/Passive-Component...7oZ1ypax18
All the caps have about 88mA ripple. The one below is the only one that has 110mA at 120Hz:

https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Uni...plWMHVU%3D

But even that.....

The ones I have have 560mA which is the same rating the resulting cap will have after the serializing. This gives me some peace of mind.
And in this day and age, peace of mind is everything Icon_lol

PS. I do realize that with very little use each radio is seeing, the chance of the cap with even inadequate ripple rating being overworked is slim.....but, that is me. The EE in me is the enemy of good enough Icon_lol
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.
