Default Re: Dansette Electrolytic Capacitors

Just a general observation re. electrolytic capacitor replacement in old sets: of those which I've measured recently* (admittedly not a huge number so statistically small sample), the old ones tend to have capacities above the nominal value, whereas modern caps are usually pretty close. So when choosing "nearest nominal value" it may be better to opt "up" unless the match is very close (c.f. 47/50uF).
