The Main filter cap. on my very old Philco needs to be over hauled. The problem is what caps do I use. I seen a YouTube video and the guy used big Metalized Polypropylene Film number 155K/630 as with the other I am sure they where 205K630V. I would think you should use Electrolytic Capacitors. I link the video at the bottom and here is the layout of the capacitors as shown in the schematic. So my question is, did he do this right and can someone tell me for sure how to rebuild the this capacitor? I have done capacitor rebuild before but this is the first big like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB956EnTjBg&t=211s
