Hi,

Regarding the 1200 volt rating on those silver mica caps. That is just how they came back in those days. There is no voltage in your radio nearly that high so don't worry about finding a 1200 volt cap. The highest voltage you probably have might be 450 volts worst case. If you get something rated for 600 volts or so that will be fine.

Perhaps someone else has info on the 0.0015 uF values vs. the 0.003 uF for the other caps. Same thing would apply to those caps though in terms of voltage. Get something like 600 or 630 volts and you'll be fine.
