Just opened up a fairly nice bakelite 53-566 tonight. It has BC and what looks like the old police band on it. Lots of loud buzz/hum so caps need replacing. It has a 4-section filter cap: 40, 40, 40, 25. I'm trying to decide whether to replace the 40s with 33 or 47 mfd. Which do you think would be better? Of course a 22 will take care of the 25.

Planning to re-stuff the original container just because of space.

Thanks for your ideas.
