:I have a question regarding a Sentinel Radio. It is an old Battery type Model 118B. I have restored the radio and it works perfectly. I also got a Sentinel HiLine battery eliminator that I am still working on. It has a 6P5GT Tube and several electrolytic capacitors in it. Three of the caps are labeled Mallory Type EP 1000 MFD 3 V. I am assuming that this means 1000mfd @ 3 volts. But It does not make sense. Could this mean 300 volts instead. Also where does one get 1000MFD caps at 3 volts or even 300 volts for that matter? AES does not offer anything in this range. Any help or direction will be greatly appreciated.

:1000uf at 300 volts would be about the size of your fist.
