I'm new here and didn't get any takers on the "maintenance" page so thought I'd try here.
I have some caps out of spec on my Gemini I. They come off of pin 7 on V7b which is a 12AX7 for temolo. Pin 7 is the grid and has first a 270k to gnd then paralled, a .047uf, a 120k, to the "speed pot" to gnd, then paralled another.047uf and 120k to gnd.
Also pin 6 (plate) has a .047uf paralleling the grid circuit mentioned above and through the 120k to gnd.
My question is: these are actually "tiny chief" .05uf 400vdc plastic with a stripe at the ground end. Can I use the .047 630v tubulars that I got from Fliptops which seem not to have any polarity marking and are noticably smaller?
I don't know enough about this stuff to know just what they are doing, so I sure could use some guidence!
Thanks!
