Thanks for the responses. I will look into getting the caps. Thanks!

I don't think I'd buy caps to double them up if I could get the proper value- I would try it if I had them around already. They make the FT-3 caps in 0.47uF; here's a listing on ebay, although I haven't dealt with this seller.
I'm not familiar with the Eros circuit; I assumed that the 200V commie cap would be fine almost anywhere in a phone pre.
Eros is direct coupled, so the output triode sits at a higher voltage relative to ground.
I figured that must be the case. If I were Paully then, I'd maybe write some of the 'trusted' ebay sellers and see if they had the right size, as most of them have items not listed, then I'd try the doubling as a cheap experiment. If you like better than what you have, keep it, if not, go back and regroup. With the soviet teflon's, you'd have to give 'em some time to decide. I use the soviet FT-3/200v as couplers in my Seduction and they're nice, and Auricaps for outputs.
Caps need to be 400V. I have looked at the Teflon options and the only way I see to get to the necessary capacitance with the proper voltage is to double them or spend $200 a piece for auriteflon or v-caps.
