OK Larry

(103) 30-2123 = 8 uF, 475 WVDC and 10 uF, 100 WVDC
(104) 30-2011 = 8 uF, 500 WVDC

Info from the 1937 Philco parts catalog.

That said, some years ago when I was younger and more foolish (and did not yet have this data), I used 10 uF, 450 WVDC caps to replace the two 8 uF main filters, and got away with it. Which is not to say that you will, too. YMMV. I would go with the higher working voltage, especially with today's higher line voltages being a factor.

Where can you find 10 uF, 500 WVDC caps for $1.50? Just Radios sells them for $2.25. Radio Daze doesn't list 10 uF, 500 volt caps.
