As for the capacitor, I think you said the original

would fit a 4700uF, the extra capacitance won't matter and it'll be
easier to get.
[1] Why this is _necer_ [2] written as 4mF is beyond me
[2] Actually, 'never' is too strong. I am pretty sure I've seen at least
one schematic that does thta, maybe an HP one.
I almost always normalize values in my designs. I don't know why more
people don't. This applies to everything though, not just component
values. Why would someone say "10,000mL" instead of "10L"?
That's
something about society that I've always wondered about.
