OK, making progress in rebuilding old bakelite blocks however there's a stumbling block, so to speek. The 6287F's require replacement of 2 ea .15 mfd caps. What's safe to sub for this? I can only think of going down with a readily available round of .1's. Will this be tolerant within the twenty percent rule? I always thought you had to meet or EXCEED the value, but that may be for the largers.

Your help would greatly be appreciated. Philco's ROCK when recapped.
