3.0uf cap? on 116PX
#9

Actually most of the places where those smaler values electrolyte caps are are not sensitive to higher value at all, the lower value being probably a budgetary consideration rather than electrical.

And the filtrer caps.....the one that probably should be observed is the very first one across the rectifier. The voltage will go up as you increase the value, and copupled with today's higher line voltage in the first place it will add that unnecessary extra we can do without. The one after the choke is less critical as it mostly affects the voltage when there is no load.
