I started recapping the set yesterday and I got a good bit more done today. Nothing but a couple bumblebee's and the electrolytics left. I noticed that one of these 47uF's I've got will replace a 40uF that appears to be first in line to the 5U4G low voltage rectifier. I recall hearing that exceeding the original capacitance rating of filter capacitors closest to the rectifier could overdraw the rectifier during the start-up surge. The 47uF's are all I could find, and it's only 15% off. Cause for concern? Just thought I'd get a second opinion on this.
