Hi Steve
1) The 100uF is in parallel with the mains I/P brfore the inductive ballast

2) The ballast inductors are meaty smoothing inductors from 50v 20A
rectifier sets as once used in the Telecoms industry. 50V old technology
rectifer sets are on the way out fast and surplus big rectifier sets must be
available somewhere. I used to work for a telco so had the inside running.
They can cope with 250v winding to core voltage of 230v BTW.

Good luck
Ted L
