I am 2 short of .015 to do complete recapping job. have plenty of .01, should I use only one .01 or two .01 in parrallel for the .015 /

Buy the correct caps; there is a reason they used .015.

Two .01 in parallel will give .02 not .015

If that's an original .015 cap, it probably had a 20% tolerance anyway. I'd go with the new .01.

Three 0.01 uF caps wired in series and paralleled by an identical set of 0.01 uF caps will give 0.015 uF (theoretically). But in practical terms you will probably be better off just using a single 0.01 uF cap. If the cap is being used as an audio AC coupler it might be best to bump up to two 0.01 uF parts in parallel in order to avoid rolloff of low-frequency response, although in general it is not a good practice to parallel-wire parts since every separate part added to a given electrical design decreases its reliability (by adding another potential failure point).

:Hi, if you have a .01 and a .005 parallel them together and you will have a .015. Good Luck, George T

::Thanks gentlemen for advice. May get this old 80 year plus baby playing tomorrow !
