Klimo power supply advice

[slofut]

My Klimo Kent has a shorted power supply filter cap. It's a Tesla TC509 300uf/500v and I wanted to keep it as original as possible but I'm going to have to sub a part on this one. Can I use a 500uf/500v (JJ) cap instead? These are PP EL34 monoblocs. Transformer voltage is 350v.
Any help would be appreciated.

You could use either the 500uF or the 250uF. You might want to try them both and see which one you prefer (wire one in at a time).

Thanks Palustris. I did find a couple 350uf 500v, physically about 1/3rd the size of the old Teslas. They should be good. But would the larger value not increase power supply headroom? And could it adversly affect the output tubes?
