[Hammarlund] HQ-110A Capacitor Question

[JThorusen]

Greetings to David and the Forum:

   In answer to your question, yes, electrolytic capacitors are still made 
in voltages up to 450 volts commonly, with a few available in still higher 
voltages.

   The purpose of "stuffing" old electrolytic capacitor cases with new 
electrolytics is for cosmetic purposes only.... the intent is to retain the 
"look" of a vintage radio as it was when it left the factory.

Regards,
Jim T.

Are electrolytic caps still being made for high voltage like in these 
receivers?

I thought current thinking was to stuff some modern electrolytic caps
in series / parallel to come up to the correct value and stuff them
into a decorative perhaps original can?

Your thoughts on the matter?

Thanks,

David N1EA
