The K42s are smaller and they have higher voltages as well.The original Radionic caps in the Scotts are also a film and foil and they are an excellent sounding cap when they work. You also want to use a K40y or an FT-2 in the integrated amps going from driver to output tubes.I also like to use a paper in oil from the phase splitter to the driver.

Thanks for the suggestion, Michael, I am looking to get some the FT-2 caps and try them out, you suggested that the 200 vdc ones are good to 600 vdc? It appears that the radionic caps in the Scotts have a high failure rate, particularly the output couplers and the voltage/PI couplers, I am just replacing them as a matter of course with CDE film/foil (DMM and other types, not the metallized foil) and/or k42y/k40y where I have space, also using the Sprague 716 film/foil.
The FT-2 shows zero leakage at 765vdc.That is remarkable.

these are noted as PETP type, thanks!
Thanks, Michael, were those the 200 vdc FT2's?
