Canadian Philco 37-3116 Capacitor Question
#1

Hello good people in Radioland Icon_biggrin . Digging into this set, it has a 25 cycle transformer and has an additional 2 capacitors connected across 2 chokes. The U.S. version (as far as the schematic goes) this info is omitted or the 25 cycle version didn't exist. Anyway, the Canadian version can be found here:
http://radio.codegods.ca/sites/default/f...ilco41.jpg
At the bottom left, on Data sheet 41, just above 1936-37 it says:
NOTE: On 25 cycle only, chokes No. 120 and No. 125 have a 1 MFD capacitor part No. 04357 connected across them.
These caps (rectangular cans) are in the radio, but because the Canadian schematic dosen't include a parts list, I have no idea what the voltage should be. Am I safe with 1 MFD @ 630 Volt ? or would a 1000 Volt be more suited here ?
Does anyone know the value of part # 04357 ? Has anyone run across this before ?
I did check out Chucks page here : http://www.philcorepairbench.com/metalcap.htm but didn't see it listed.
Thanks...
Tony
