What f should a replacement capacitor be?

A replacement capacitor MUST be at least the same voltage or higher. The µF can vary as most of the caps have a wide tolerance some as great as 50%. But 10 to 20% diff should work fine. THE BIGGEST factor is form factor. It must fit into the same place and connect the same way. Screws, spade lugs, solder, whatever.

Can a power supply capacitor be replaced?

The replacement caps I am using are Panasonic FCs and NHGs from Digikey with +-20% tolerance. Power supply electrolytic capacitors have a tolerance of up to 100% higher, so yes you can replace another capacitor as long the replacment is equal or higher in uFs and voltage..... Be sure to check physical size..

When should a capacitor be replaced?

But the capacitor must be replaced only when this drop becomes excessive. A simple way to evaluate the proper insulation of the capacitor is to remove the tube from its socket and measure the voltage drop across Rscreen, or VB+ minus Vload. If this drop is in the order of a couple of volts or less, no need to replace the capacitor.

Should a capacitor size be increased?

For a given (fixed) set of constraints: The only feature that requires increasing the size of a capacitor is its voltage rating. Reasoning the other way around, You can trade off a smaller voltage rating of the capacitors in your design for a smaller package size (assuming the set of constraints above).

Should a capacitor be replaced if a voltage is low?

Well, if the absolute voltage measured across Rg is in the order of one tenth of the nominal bias voltage or more, the capacitor must be replaced regardless of its leakage. On the contrary, if the measured voltage is low, say few millivolts, no need to replace the capacitor. This can be the case of a low ohmic value for Rg, say 10 to 47 kohms.

Why are rated capacitors smaller than 20 years ago?

Know your capacitors. add specific capacitors ,,,like values or manufacturer part numbers...lot of factors varies.. Age. Similarly rated caps are much smaller now than they were 20 years ago. Probably caused by other reasons listed here. I can guess that the main difference is in cost.
