It's generally OK to go somewhat higher in capacitance with electrolytics, but don't go nuts. Don't substitute 100mfd for 22mfd, for instance. There's no advantage to using the 100mfd cap and it will be larger/more expensive.

Ditto with voltage ratings.

Thanks Phil. That's the procedure I normally follow with radios, but I had read somewhere that at least one section of these Predicta's requires exact value replacements. But I can't seem to find that website now, and I can't remember which section nor exactly which capacitors where involved. Dang!
