[Hallicrafters] Replacement Capacitors

Thanks for all the replies about capacitor replacements
in the HT-37.

The 2 caps I will be replacing are C69 & C80 20uF at 600vdc.
These are in series and are connected to the 750vdc line for
a total working voltage of 1200.  Since I cannot find the
original rating of 600vdc, I will be using (2) 450vdc caps in
their place for a total of 900vdc rating and 13.5 uF giving me
a buffer of 150v.

All feedback indicates that the newer caps having better
construction with higher dielectric materials, should be
able to handle the 750vdc.

Any dissenters in the ranks on this idea?
