Default How to replace 12mfd 700v electrolytic

Dear Friends,

This is my first post so please forgive me if I break any rules.

I have just picked up a Globe Chief 90 (not 90a) and would like to
begin restoring it. The first thing that came to mind was replacing
the filter capacitor which is 12mfd at 700v. I poked around and cannot
seem to find any electrolytics in that voltage range that are not the
size of a beer can.

Can any of you recommend a method of substituting multiple capacitors
to make up this electrolytic? Is there a source of these that I've
overlooked? I haven't checked it yet to see if it was bad but I'd just
feel better proceeding with this project with a fresh filter capacitor
so I don't destroy the power transformer.
Thanks for any help you can give me,

73,


Derek
