I don't get it then... if it is a typical aa5 tube radio, the power supply should be on the order of 100 volts or more... usually the caps would have a 150v rating. A common 3 section cap in such a receiver would be something like 40uf/150v, 30uf/150v with either a 3rd section rated at 150v for the power supply or with a lower voltage rating if used as cathode bypass of the output tube (like 50uf/25v). A peek at a schematic is needed here.
