When I restored 38-15 (which is same as 12 with SW added) I put 10uF in 12uF place.
This radio in fact totally abhores (not sure why) today's 120V voltage and raising capacitance 25% (this is what 3uF is to 12uF) does not really help.
So if anything I'd go 10uF or 12uF (if you want to parallel), not much higher.
The 4uF cap as Mondial said does not matter much. If you go 10uF also, then you can use two of the same value.
