[R-390] Replacement Capacitors

[Gordon]

When I asked the Question regarding the Polyester metalized ones, it 
wasn't to try and save a dime.
  It was to hear why everyone was suggesting the Orange Drop ones.
My whole point was to try and keep it more Original by replacing Axial 
Caps with Axial caps.
Sounds to me like many can be replaced with ceramic (by-pass) and the 
others it seems are to be replaced with Orange Drops.
I just wish they Orange Drops were Axial leaded..LOL
If the main concern is C-553 shorting and taking out the Filters, why 
wouldn't it be wiser to put a pair of .02 in series for extra safety in 
place of the one .01 ?
I must say, I have sure learned a lot about the differences in Caps from 
this discussion. It has been a very informative Thread.
