Thanks for nice words everyone.
As far as the 450 V caps in place of 475, its all ok. B+ on all zenith tube sets is only 390V. There is no surge voltage to be concerned with during initial power up, so its still safe with a good safety factor.
As far as the hazards of the caps, yes, it is a legitimate concern. I have thought about this myself but am currently unaware of any hazardous substances. Im unsure if the electrolite contains pcb's. Perhaps Brian might know in more detail.
