Restoring a 41-295.  Every schematic I've seen has an 80 rectifier tube and the electrolytics in the pi filter are 18uF and 25uF.  However, the specimen I have has a 5Z3 rectifier tube and the filter electrolytics are 30uF and 12uF, which appear to be the original caps.  Is this a legitimate variation, or should I go back to the 80 tube to help preserve the transformer?  And any recommendations on which set of electrolytic filter caps to use?
