Not totally sure I would want to replace a 16Mf with a 40 MF on a vintage radio. More like a 22Mf one. Perhaps a 40MF might be ok--but then again...it might stress the rect tube. For the 12Mf one--use 22MF one.
Just make SURE--you do not go below the B= voltage--even WITHOUT a load. But do not go too much ABOVE the rating either. For example. If it is a 16/250...do NOT put in a 16/450. a 350 would be ok. It is hard to explain--but if the voltage is too LOW...the cap will "deform" and rapidly get high ESR. I have SEEN this before.
