Hi All,
I'm currently restoring my RCA 128. this is a set I have wanted for many years and it's a beautiful radio, but I'm finding out that it's a major pain in my lower regions to recap!!
Caps are buried everywhere in this set!!!! Anyway There is a 4MFD 25V. electrolytic in the circuit. Thing is- I have all the needed caps on hand and don't want to have to order just this one special. my question is- can I just install a 4MFD 500V electrolytic in it's place? I have some of these on hand. The value is the same, just the working voltage is way out there. Anyone have any input? Thanks!
Kevin
