Quote:You don't want to replace the two 50uF's with a single 100uF. They and the 1K resistor (plus transformer inductance) make up a PI filter (https://circuitdigest.com/tutorial/pi-fi...esign-tips, https://electronicscoach.com/pi-filter.html).
As far as the values new capacitors you get probably have a 20% tolerance (50uF => 40uF-60uF). I have to think the originals weren't any better...
No, I wasn't talking about replacing the 2 50 MFDs with a single 100 MFD, I was talking about replacing each 50 MFD with a 100 MFD for each 50 MFD, but I was told that wouldn't be a good idea.
So I'm just going to replace them with a 47 MFD at 250 WVDC which the Voltage rating is higher than the originals so that there is more surge voltage to work with than the originals.
Now as for the output transformer (which apparently I had forgotten that I had figured out it was bad until I had revisited this thread the other day) I ended up ordering a Hammond P-T125J Output Transformer, because its primary and Secondary winding specs were much closer to the original output transformer's specs than the one that was suggested here (the P-T125ASE), plus it has the extra tap like the original did.
Here's the link to the transformer in question:
