[Boatanchors] replacing PS capacitors

[Richard Keller]

Ok guys, I need a little bit of advice here. I am putting
new electrolytic caps in two power supplies, one Heath and
one Drake. After all I have read on the list, I assumed it
would be a piece of cake. Not so.

I have searched a stack of catalogs for the caps and found
replacements for most, but some are just not there. I can
sub 22 for 20 and 47 for 40 and 33 for 30 but how much
leeway do we have regarding the capacitance and voltage? I
just cannot find any 125mfd at 450 or 80 at 350. I know you
can use a higher voltage with these aluminum electrolytics
but that is no help with these. I found 100mfd at 450 but
they are 10 bucks apiece. I need 6 of them! What do you
suggest?

By the way, I will not be gutting the cans, but instead will
mount them underneath.
