Nothing to worry about.  The highervoltage rating just means the capacitor can withstand higher voltages.  Itwill work anywhere the 25V part works.

Hi all,

I was about to build my first module, a '410, and I was going through the partsto make sure everything is there when I noticed that a couple of the capacitorsthat are written as 10mfd, 25v Electrolytic in the parts list are marked10uF50v on the cap itself.

Assuming that "50v" indicates a voltage and isnt just the modelnumber, should I be worried that it's marked at twice the voltage on the cap?
