F-1740 Filter Cap Voltages
#4

Hi and Welcome to the phourm!
You can't go wrong by putting a cap in there with a higher voltage rating. You could use 450v caps in place of the 350v jobs. The only issue may be size. You mention that there is a cap off of the 7C5. If it is connected to the cathode the voltage rating is going to be much lower as there isn't much voltage there. Something in the 35-50v range will be fine. Cathode will have about 10-15v on it.

ps When you replace #76 it needs to be a high voltage job at 1.5 or 1.6KV. If it goes bad it will take the power transformer and chopper (vibrator) with it.

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.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
