Ceramic/Mylar cap replacements

[MarkFromCA]

Hi,

I had a general question about equivalent ceramic and mylar capacitors. There's a chance I may have a bad mylar cap in my Sony set and I'm having a difficult time sourcing the exact part number (which the service manual stresses is vital for this part). Its marked as a .01uF 10% 200V. I am able to find lower capacitances with the same tolerance and voltage rating. Is there any concern with replacing this with smaller caps in parallel to achieve the same overall capacitance so long as the voltage and tolerance ratings are the same?

It's possible the issue is not the mylar cap at all. I haven't tested it out of circuit yet. I'm just trying determine a course of action should it be a bad part.

Thanks!
