[R-390] On the subject of replacement capacitors...

If you are replacing one of the caps on a capacitor bridge it needs to be
"right on" the same value. Preferably one with very tight tolerances.

Since there are usually a few capacitors in the bridge configuration you may
even want to consider changing all of them at the same time to new
capacitors with the same rating. Ideally caps that were made in the same
batch.

Bridges are very finicky regarding the value of components. That is not an
area where "near enough" is "good enough".
