BTW use the 30uf value for the first 'lytic from the rectifier tubes and leading to the choke. Don't change that value or you risk frying your rectifier tubes. I'm assuming that each can has a 30uf and 10uf inside?
Here's a pic of my 175 ff.

Yes Bob both cans have a 30uf and a 10uf...I just got my caps today...so I will start this weekend. So basically a 100uf cap 500vdc for the can cap not connected to the rectifier tubes? Ok I will try that later on...so basically connect the the postive 30uf and 10uf to the correct wires and then connect both the negative leads together to chassis ground? I have some terminal strips so that should be an easy job....
then it is maggie time...I do not have the death caps yet..but I figure new coupling caps and new power supply caps should make things a bit safer lol....
thanks Bob!
