So, lately I seem to be collecting receivers. And they're old and generally neglected and otherwise screed up (that's how I can afford them!)
But, it seems reasonable sooner than later, they will need more significant TLC than an oil change and new spark plugs. Like rings and gaskets (AKA recap).
So, large caps in the 1970's tended to be quite a bit larger than their modern counterparts with the same ratings. Going up on voltage is a given (and possibly required, to get close to the old physical size), but often the modern ones are both shorter and smaller diameter as compared to the old ones with the same ratings.
Bottom line: for the big main PS caps that would need to fit a physical space and original clamps, is there any harm/danger in going up with the capacitance as compared to the originals? Were the original values "good enough" since they had to design to a price point as well? Would a "bypass cap" be a good idea, regardless of what the final value of the beer cans are?

Thanks!
