Mondial  is correct as always. I put some electrolytics in my 87 and it worked fine for about 6 months. The input cap shorted and it started to eat the 80 tube. They get a nasty angry red glow in the plates. Then poof goes the 80 or the 80 and the power transformer. The e caps where cheaper but not in the long run.
