bought ceiling fan caps that have 4.5 5 and 6uf with a common gray wire. I figured I could parallel the cap itself with the values it has to get various values but if I use more than one colored wire, the radio tubes light at a much lower line voltage. Seems to only work if I parallel 2 separate physical caps together. CBB 61 is the ceiling fan cap number. NOt sure why they have 2 gray wires on these caps if they are tied to the same common end internally.
I series strung the 2 cbb 61 caps at 16uf to make 8 uf and tube voltage is 7.02 volts. Going to guess a 7 or 7.5 cap will do it.
