[Hallicrafters] Black Beauty replacements.

[Waldo Magnuson]

Hi,
    OK, I get the drift on replacing Black Beauties.  But what are the 
opinions on what to replace them with.  I have been using Antique 
Electronic Supply's "Orange Drop" SBE 715P and 716P as replacements.  
But it has been suggested that I use the 630 volt Mallory, Illinois, or 
"no-name" yellow tubular caps offered by AES and not worry about 200 
volt, 400 volt, or 600 volt ratings of the caps being replaced (they 
are also a little smaller than orange drops).  Is polyester vs. 
polypropylene an issue for boat anchors?
