Help with schematic vs capacitor markings

[jwhmca]

Hi Guys,

I'm working on an old tape player and making good progress. I need to replace all the paper capacitors. The schematic seems to indicate they are voltages like 1000 and 1500, but pulling the caps out reveals markings of 175v and 250v

For instance C9 the cap coming off the record/play head is marked as 375v. On the actually part it is marked 175v

Any help on which to go with?

Looking at the measured voltages on the schematic, anything over 200v should be fine.

BEWARE!  That is a "hot chassis" unit, with one side of the AC mains tied to circuit "common" (aka "ground").
