Philco 118 - Cap 46 - Use Electrolytics or Film?
#1

I am restoring a Philco 118 cathedral. http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/125/M0013125.htm

The question relates to restuffing capacitor 46 (2@300v, 1@350v, 1@350v, 1@450v). I am concerned that the 1 and 2mfd 630 volt caps I have in stock will be too large for restuffing this capacitor. What have other restuffers used? I am concerned about using electrolytics since RF is involved, but they are much smaller and restuffing will not be an issue. Another idea was to use and electrolytic with a 0.1mfd film capacitor in parallel. I suppose I could also shop around (Mouser etc) for film capacitors at lower voltages, or perhaps look for radial type film capacitors, which seem to be smaller than axial types. I just hate to pay shipping charges on a few capacitors when I have the correct values in stock.

Thanks in advance for your help!
