That's actually 800VDC. I don't know what the voltage rating is on the original caps in the K networks. I'm going with the experience of other restorers and common sense.

For example the K4 network connects to a cap on the main board rated for 1KV so it's been recommended to use a 1KV cap in the replica network. I used 2KV caps because that's what I had on hand.

As for the other networks, they don't connect to any circuit nodes running at more than a few 100 volts so I figure 500 volt mica and 630+ VDC ceramic and film caps should be more than sufficient.
