I have the schematics, what it doesn't tell me is what the voltage is coming off the cathode/filament of the #80 tube, this is what I need to know for the input capacitor. In these sets the original filter caps, and several bypass ones, were all situated inside a tar filled can which I do not want to open up again so electrolytics are out. I'm also not going to cherry pick on voltage ratings for each and every part, I have two or three other sets of a similar vintage, and need perhaps a dozen 2 mfd caps in all, and even more of the 1 mfd types, the Philco uses a higher plate voltage on the output tubes because they are P-P #45s.
One outfit has 1.5 mfd caps at 400 volts and 1 mfd at 400 volts, but they have the best price on every other film cap I need. Another has 1 mfd 630 volt ones but nothing larger, but have a smaller variety of parts then the first outfit. The third is Radio Daze, they seem to have these available in 630 volts, but I sent an inquiry about some other products they have, along with quantity prices on caps but have not received a reply as yet.
