I have ordered and received new caps for this radio and hope I've ordered the correct ones. I tried matching them to the schematic as best as I could but matching the voltage was difficult, so I ordered ones with slightly higher voltages. They are also smaller in size based on the ones installed but I read that this is normal. I am attaching pictures and not sure about the big silver cap and a 400V cap in the picture. Does the silver cap need to be replaced with a large cap of the correct voltage (400V) as in the picture? also the dual 400V 4-4MFD tan paper cap which earlier was pointed out as possibly dead. The tan cap has a replacement blue 450V cap in parallel with it but probably the 2nd 400V is still needed
I am confused about the differences in Electrolytic condenser/capacitors and the metal vs paper material and the sizes.
