you won't have any problems with the yellow polyester caps, internally the orange drops are no different, just test them first before installing them. In most cases you could use 400 volt caps in a car radio with no problems, the B+ voltage is normally lower then an AC set. The buffer cap should be a high voltage job, but make sure that you replace the original with one of the capacity called for on the schematic.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
