If it says enough, it is enough. The tube can take 40uF, and with 1/2 peiode rectifier the more the better, but then if current is small 8uF could just do it.
On similar radios of other companies I see 20uF plus for the first cap.
Why I am saying this, if you do not have 8uF but have 22uF, it is jst fine to use it. The WV should be at least 250V, it does not have to be 500V Philco usual.
