Subject: [drakelist] AC-4 Cap values

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am about to re-cap one of my AC-4s.

Looking at several schematics, I note that C5a and C5b are shown as 20 
microfarads.

I have a parts list dated September 1, 1974 that shows both C5s as 40 
microfarads.

Looking at the AC-4 I see that indeed there are 40 mic caps installed.

What is the scoop here??

Also, I have found a bunch of new electrolytics of larger values that I 
am planning to use.    I will replace an old 125 with a new 150  This is 
OK, right?

What really has me puzzled is the 20 vs 40 mic caps.  I was planning on 
using some 33 mic caps I have on hand.

By the way, all of my new caps are 400-450 volt ratings.

Please advise.
