RE: Capacitor Size

Original poster: "Dirk Stubbs" <dirk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I was afraid of that. OK looks like I have some choices:

1.try to find some caps like the ones I have
2.build a MMC array with necessary capacitance
3. use what I have at a risk to NST

Thanks all for your help,
Dirk

best performance is with .008 --- period!!  .0053 may resonate with
your power xmfr and you risk blowing it out.
