Since it is a series strung set (no power transformer) the B+ comes directly from the line voltage. Probably what was in there were 150v
electrolytics but I would go with 250v or 350v new ones. 350v is probably
overkill but I would err on the side of higher voltage rating rather
than 150v. Lifetime ratings for electyolytic caps depend on temperature
and how close to the rated voltage rating you are running them.

Try to get 105 degree C rated caps also.
