Power to radio is 114.4 volts to obtain 6.3 volts at filaments using a 10uf 370vac run capacitor for a furnace. would be nice to have a smaller capacitor but not sure thats possable. I know a 25.2 volt transformer wouuld definetly work as I have the radio shack 1.2 amp 25.2 volt unit I can use which might be safer yet no heat and no short out that caps can do. My wall voltage is 122.3, which if directly plugged into wall gets me 7.07 volts at filaments with the 10uf run cap

I used two ceiling fan capacitors for a tiny four tube radio. They're a lot smaller than the oil type motor run caps. The fan caps are rated at 250 volts. You can fit them almost anywhere!
