[Hallicrafters] re: HT37 capacityor voltage ratings

I originally raised the question of whether using 450v caps vice the 
installed 475v caps would be OK.

The cap I am speaking about is the two section cap C79A and C79B in the low 
voltage filter section of the HT37 power supply.

The schematic indicates that there are 300vdc connected to the positive side 
of the caps....this provides screen voltage to the finals and goes to the 
OA2 that provides 150vcdc to other circuits.

Will this 300vdc level ever go higher than 300vdc???? (I think not)  If not, 
whence the question of installing 450vdc cap vice the original 475vdc cap.

Comments are welcomed.
