Need Oddball Caps.

[Brian Carling]

Orrin - if you don't want to buy the high priced 700V caps, you can 
always put twop 350V ones
in series. It's easy.  Just use a parallel balancing resistor of 
something like 100 kilohms at 2 watts across each
of them.

If you want it to look original, expect to pay very high prices. There 
is no one making 700V caps that
I am aware of. Chances are that anything you buy wold be 30-40 years old 
and fail on you anyway!
