[Hallicrafters] Recapping Hallicrafters

[Clayton L. Nicolsen]

"One mistake some make is replacing electrolytic caps with one of a higher
voltage, this will accelerate the aging of the cap. There usedto be a 
working
voltage rating on caps and on electrolytics, this was necessary not only to
prevent use at a higher voltage,but also prevent lower voltage use which 
will
not maintain the electrochemical reaction know as "forming" and the 
capacatance
will fade over time."

I have never heard anyone say this before.  I have frequently heard that 
replacing a capacitor with one of a higher voltage rating was just fine, and 
would cause no problems whatsoever.

Are you certain about this?  Can anyone else chime in with verification 
and/or a difference of opinion?
