I usually replace the Rifa capacitors with equivalent polyester safety
caps (X or Y rated). Kemets are most common and work just fine. It's
not a bad idea, if you're in a 240AC mains country to bump the AC
voltage rating up a bit. I've seen too many line filters with 250VAC
rated caps labeled for either 120 or 240V use. That would make me
nervous if I lived in a 240V country.
