Sounds good . The only caveat is on the older sets from the late 20's that use very small caps like .5 or 2.0 mfd to never use a larger cap at the input . That would be the one closest to the rectifier tube. You can use them further down in the filter network. What happens is it will raise the high voltage significantly which can cause problems like overheating the BC resistor.
Sometimes it can be a help to juggle this value if some one has replaced the power transformer
if you need to compensate for a transformer that is a bit high or low in output.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got it!
