RE: Missing a capacitor? Heathkit WA-1 (PP 807)

Michael- Thanks again, in the schematic, the first 20 uf seems to be for decoupling the first half of the first 6SN7, is the second 20 uf for decoupling the other half of the first 6SN7?, or is it for the second 6SN7? Anyways, as there is very little room in these small shallow chassis, the only value cap that I have on hand that will physically fit, are 68uf@500v . Do you think that 68 uf parallelled with each 20 uf will be too much capacitance in this position? For the output tubes cathode resistor, do you think that 47uf will be enough or should I go for 100uf? The last thing that I was wondering, should that cap be in series with the 250 ohm resistor as shown in the schematic, or could/should it be parallelled with the resistor? Thanks for your help, regards, wpod
