Gentlemen:

I can not find suitable Filter Capacitors (500 WV at 100 mf) for my old
GLA-1000.  The capacitors in question are (C21, 22 and 23).  They are in
series across the 1200 volt output of the rectifier.  Since they are in
series it looked like they did it that way to have them add up to 1500
volts of working voltage.  My question is; Can I use 450 volt electrolytics
in place of the 500 volt capacitors?
73 and Thanks,
Bill Smith KO4NR
