Richard,

I visually checked the bypass caps (home made, rolled, not in oil) and did
not see any burn marks, soot or damage.  I checked them with the ohmeter and
they look ok.  I don't have any means to do a high voltage test on them.

I expect to get a call from Condenser Products today.  I will let you know.
