[Collins] REPLACEMENT CAPS

[Magoo]

If you are replacing those old "black beauty" caps in your boatanchor, 
perhaps you should not choose the lowest voltage rating you feel you can get 
away with.  Some of the "orange drop" type caps available are imported, and 
I suspect that the manufacturing standards may be lower than the authentic 
original  Sprague units.  It is best to allow at least a 50% margin of 
safety in choosing the required caps.

I have been using "unbranded" 630 volt "orange drop" caps for all of my 
re-capping jobs (20+ radios), and have been very happy with them. 
Installing a lower voltage cap when the difference in price is just cents 
seems risky to me.  There are several reputable suppliers of these imported 
caps, all with good pricing, but my choice is Just Radios (he has a web page 
and on-line order).
