Ron / Morzh,
OK thanks. Sometimes the choke / cap is specifically tuned for line frequency and moving the first cap value can effect that. But it seems not critical in this instance.
I was already looking at the Solens caps. I have an RCA CR88LR I wish to rebuild and use the solens caps in. Besides the Solens factory isnt that far away from me so I can get them fairly promptly.
Cheers
