DO NOT go higher than 47uF for C1, you can go lower. If you cannot find a 47uF 500V cap then a 33uF or 39uF 500V cap will be a better value for C1.

Be careful of getting parts like this on Ebay, especially from China.That doesn't look like a genuine Cornell Dubilier capacitor.
It's a safe bet that it is a fake Chinese knockoff.
Genuine Cornell Dubilier capacitors usually have have a band down the side indicating the negative terminal not a dashed line.
They are made in China and are usually marked CDE USA not Made in USA.
You should source parts like this from reputable dealers. Get things like speaker and RCA jacks, tube sockets and similar
hardware from Ebay China sellers.

I agree about buying components from the bay and China, too many fakes out there.
Here's the real thing from Mouser... There is a difference. I used a 33mfd instead of a 47mfd...

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
