100/75v - use 100 uF / 160 V
40/350v - use 40 uF / 350 or 450 V
10/25v - use 10 uF / 25, 35, or 50 V

I'm looking at Radial, electrolytic. Is this wrong of me?

Most people prefer axial, but you can use radial if you like. For restuffing inside old cans, radial can be best; for everything else, I prefer axial.

Oh and one stray .008/1000v - use .01 uF / 1000 V

In many cases, especially for electrolytics, you can use a somewhat larger capacitance without any concern. And you can always use a capacitor with higher voltage rating.
OK, thanks a lot Tom!

I guess I get stuck on finding exact sizes, even though I saw told before. However, I'm not good at equalvalents and do not want to find a substitute and then blow something up from being wrong.

Thanks again.
