I have 2 Midway "big blue's" that are almost exactly the same in number, except for one small detail. They read as follows:

Type: CGS
55000MFD 25VDC
POS + 85C
Max Surge 30VDC
0175341EBLXJX

At the VERY bottom, the number on one reads:

235-8216K

The other one reads

235-8xxx (I put in x's bc I can't remember the other set of numbers)

I really only need to be concerned about the MFD and VDC's don't I? The 2 big blue's are both made by Mallory, have the same connectors on top, and are even the same physical size! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Same cap. What you are seeing thats different are the mfgr/date codes. 235 is Mallory's EIA code and the 8216 is 16th week of 1982 (mfgr'ing date).
