[Hallicrafters] 400V vs 600V Caps

[Glen Zook]

In reality the voltages in the SX-42 are not going to
"tax" a 400 volt capacitor.

I have found that a few 600 volt orange drop
capacitors actually cost less than the same value 400
volt capacitors.  However, the 400 volt versions are
generally cheaper.

Since you already have the 400 volt capacitors go
ahead and use them.  They are going to work fine.

I purchased a selection of Orange Drops according to
the parts list, this included a number of .022uF 400V
caps.
 
Now it appears that, in reality,  these are 600V
"Black Beauties". Perhaps this was an upgrade they
made later in production?
 
In any case I suppose I should replace them with 600V
caps......
