The 8 mf capacitor is the value of filter used in sets designed to operate from a 25 cycle AC mains power line. If your set is a 60 cycle set it used the 6mf filter cap. Point fact you could use either, but the 25 cycle model needed the extra capacity to deal with the extra AC ripple one would get from the 25 cycle mains.
