Tubular Capacitor Replacement

[Malcolm Leonard]

Ceramics come in a very wide variety of temperature coefficients,percentages 
of accuracy and other parameters.This is not normally true of tubulars.
That fact may or not matter in your case.

I tend to replace caps with the same types as original because that seems 
logical and reasonable to me.
