Got this 1960's tube receiver and am replacing capacitors. I am aware that new capacitors will be physically smaller than old ones but this differential is, in my opinion, very big indeed.
Is there cause for concern or should I be be looking for different, bigger replacements?
FWIW, the Nichicon is bi-polar 50V 2uF and the small blue one is an Elna bi-polar 50V 2.2uF.
The original gray Elna 50V 20uF is rated for 75 Surge Volts but I haven't found/seen such a spec for the Rubycon 50V 22uF that I got to replace it.
