On 5/30/08, Paul Schreiber put forth: >a) a 630V cap will work in a 400V application This is true, and I might end up doing that, but they are also larger and more expensive. I've read that electrolytic caps don't work as well when the voltage rating is much higher than necessary, but I have no idea about film caps. The plate voltages are all around 200V, but all the original film caps were 400V, even in the passive filters where the voltages are relatively low. >b) if this is for speaker crossovers/amps, try Old Colony Sound Labs It's for an old tube pre-amp. Thanks, I just looked there, and it doesn't look like they sell capacitors.
