Ok Will go ahead and restuff all of them? Was able to pick up an eico 950B cap tester.

Ok, about to order the caps to replace the filter caps with. For one value on the cans it says 160uf but I can use 150uf right?

I am assuming you are talking about the 160uf 250v doubler caps.

Just make SURE whatever you use are EQUAL in value or close to each other..or you will get UNEQUAL voltage across each cap...and a LOT of problems !!

180uf? The tolerance is that high?

[DaveWM]

yes 180 is a good sub for a 160 when used in power supply doubler.

A PAIR of 180's will be FINE..just make sure BOTH are 180UF..

This is new to me, what kind of issues? I would have assumed that the large variances in caps of the era would have been typical due to tolerances.
