Philco 42-345 Restoration/Repair
#67

The 630v caps will do just fine. Physical size increases with capacity values and voltage. You don't have to replace 200 volt caps with 200 volt caps. The replacement can be 200 or more. The voltage rating of a cap is the capacitors' maximum operating voltage. Quite often you will find the 630v version is cheaper.

Your antenna is, in essence, an rf transformer, with the primary capable of being connected to a long wire aerial. The secondary connects the signals to the input of the first tube.
