thank you very much , why values are not reported in Ohm ?   for example 4K3 what means ?

4R = 4 Ohms

4K = (4 x 1000) = 4000 Ohms

4K3 = 4300 ohms

  Some of guys here have replaced those caps with either even higher quality electrolytic caps or have even used film caps, which are LARGE for this cap.

  Apparently yes. I was unsure of it myself, until I read a post about it. Guys, please chime in here and correct me if I'm wrong.

If you go back to page 2 of this thread you can see my rebuilt quickie using 51uF ERSE film caps.

AHA! I knew somebody was using film.  Got to thinking...the Q is all dc anyway, maybe that's why it can be done.

The Silmic is a good choice.  100uF at 6.3V is an adequate size.

The cathode bypass caps that come with the new Quickie are also audio grade caps, but from Nichicon.
