Today I have a couple of safety questions.

When I replaced the line filter caps in the bakelite container I used the same .01uF caps used elsewhere in the circuit.  The part numbers that are called out in the Sam's Photofact are the same.  But I've seen posts that suggest that you should use 'Safety Caps' ('Y' rated I think?).  Should I pull those out and put in safety caps, or will they be ok?

Now that I have all the power transformer wires connected
   

I decided I should check to see if the wire I'm using is heavy enough.  I'm using 18ga stranded.  According to the chart on this page:  http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/wire-g...d_419.html  it should be able to handle 4.9 amps.  The Sam's info says that the one of the 6v secondaries is rated at 2.9A and the 5v secondary is rated at 1.8A.  Will my 18ga wire be heavy enough, or should I swap it out for 16ga?

Thanks
