I've seen the computer parts lookup show the same part number for years when the stock system was 6 volt and from when it was 12 volt, but I don't know if that means anything except that there's no market for "6 volt" condensers any more. I can't think of any electrical reason why it should make a significant difference. I have a vague recollection that a 24 volt (M37) system uses a different value. The condenser itself should handle the voltage just fine. I'm sure the new ones are all good for 50 volts or so because all they do is stick a little tiny modern capacitor that costs about half a cent into an old-style tin can with a wire lead coming out of it. Something like .22uF @50V is a real standard and cheap value. The old ones actually took up the whole can and were made of paper and tin foil rolled up together into a coil and waxed.
