Variation in usable capacitor ratings?
If I were doing it I would replace all as a set especially if they are being
used as wave shaping or timing caps. As a DC filter any capacitance
increase will usually remove more riple.

Hi everyone,
I've been upgrading a simple power supply in a satellite receiver
using a kit provided by a company selling spares.
I've noticed that there's quite a bit of difference between the
original capacitor values and the upgraded replacements provided, for
instance
Old New
47uF, 35V 100uF, 35V
2200uF, 10V 2200uF, 16V
330uF, 16V 470uF, 35
etc
My querstion is: do the upgraded capacitors only work together as a
set or can any one of them be replaced with the upgraded value?
In the latter case, a follow-up quesion would be how much variation in
capacitor value is permissible (presumably as long as it's higher)?
