I am replacing all electrolytic and paper caps, including the boost to B+ one.
One question is the rating for this cap. The Sams and the Philco manual indicate 400 or so volts. I am using a 600 volt replacement. One of my friends indicated that this should even be higher.

In the vertical circuit, there is a 1000 volt cap, I have been replacing this with 5000 volt ones that I have. I am aware that this is an overkill, but these are the only caps of that value with a voltage rating above 1000 volts that I presently have. I could wire two caps in series to double the voltage rating, but have not done this yet.
