To be more precise in parallel is the way you want to connect the two caps, NOT in series.

Capacitors in parallel add. Capacitors in series take on a value less than the smallest one in the string.....It is the other way around for resistors in series, but the formulas are the same IIRC.

After replacing 22 electrolytics and all paper caps, excluding 1000v ones, I am getting close to a first power up on a variac! Just waiting on the 1000v caps to come in the mail any day now....I also replaced any out of tolerance resistors and any ones that looked questionable.
