hello Carl,
yes I just got done building a reproduction of the 3 section main filter capacitor of my Zenith model 908 .
I used metal film capacitors rated at 630 volts DC .
One of the capacitors was 2.2 ufd at 630 volts DC

Sincerely Rich
P.S. those new capacitors will out live the radio that how good they are not like Electrolytic capacitor but when the value get high the film capacitors are physically to big.
