Looking at the specs on the Repair Bench site for bakelite blocks, I see many that have working voltages listed as 1000 and 1200 volts. Do these require replacement caps that are rated this high?? Ot are the typical 630v caps sufficient?
Im especially concerned with the micas. I typically use 500V silver micas for these, but 1000v replacements are available (at a higher cost of course).
Thoughts?
