I want to replace the 4 filter caps on my home stereo tube power amp, but I don't see a uF rating. They date to around 1990 with these specs:

Sprague Powerlytic (Aluminum Can cap, w/screw-on terminals)
36DX
380-350DC
8908L 0601
+85º
Made In USA

Are these 380uF?

Not my actual caps, but they look similar to these:

They certainly look like 380uF. Got a cap checker to confirm?

No, I don't have a checker. Probably need to get one though.
