Mike,
Thanks for the verification of 630V.
Re: the shield, I don't want to replace the shield if I don't have to, just wasn't sure if there was some electrical/electronic property of the shield or the capacitor inside it that would necessitate replacement. The replacements I've been ordering should fit inside, I think.
Re: electrolytic values, C30 (10 mfd according to documents) is the one that connects to the rectifier. I'm attaching a photo of the part that is installed. It's definitely old, but I'm not sure if it's original. Obviously, if the radio was serviced and parts were replaced, they could have been replaced with different values than original or designed. When you say that this value should be observed, would your recommendation then be to go with the value prescribed in the schematic vs what is in place? I have no desire to replace with something that is out-of-spec, on any of the three, let alone the one connected to the rectifier.
Best wishes,
Roy
