I havn't pulled the chassis yet to check the surge voltage. The caps are rated at 160 v. I'll check voltages at each cap once the radio is fired up from a cold start. I believe sprague is owned by Vishay but they must keep the original plants in operation in MA when sprague was its own company. I can only guess this because mouser puts the caps into their own marked bags and they all indicate "country of origin: United States". The construction of the lytics look identical to what they were putting out 40+ years ago which is kind of amazing. I'll check to see what cap failed and replace it with another sprague. I think whatever the cap was that finally failed was a little iffy from the start as I recall it having a slight hum that modulated the audio right after I recapped it. It wasn't bad, but enough where it didn't have a clean sound, hence why I always liked using it on the A-B battery pack as it had clean DC power then. If this radio could talk, it probably wouldn't want to see Nichicon capacitors, considering it was built right at the time of Pearl Harbor...
