What kind of caps...

should I use to replace the paper ones in the set? Should I just use the Rat Shack equivalents? Or is there a specific type that works better, such as orange drops? Or should the physical size determine it? I've tried replacing caps in my Bottlehead and Dynaco gear, but had a bit of trouble with physical size. I would guess that audiophile grade caps are NOT necessary.

I'm going to replace the papers and the electrolytics, slowly and carefully, replace the power cord and put a fuse in, and then try turning it on using the light buld method. Then I'll cross my fingers that the picture tube gives a flicker. What size fuse should I use? I would imagine this thing draws a lot of current.

(See my Dumont thread below for more info.)
