I replaced the dynamite-stick filter caps with modern electrolytics rated for the same voltage (450V).
B+ is right around 452 Vdc, and so I'm concerned that I don't have enough "safety margin' (even though the original 450V caps lasted for 45 years or so). Should I install a pair of 250V in series for the first reservoir cap?
Amp now sounds much stronger.
