RCA 128 capacitor question
#3

Yes, you can ALWAYS replace a cap with one that has a higher voltage rating. Personally, I only order 450V electrolytics to be able to cover most applications, and 630V film caps for .001mFd-.68mFd values.
Thanks for your input! I was pretty sure it would be okay. Just didn't know if the large difference in working voltages would affect anything.
