I think the explanation might be simple. 77 is that plus to chassis cap, often gets miswired.
Considering its voltage rating needs to be under 100V.

Oh....and it sees virtually no ripple current to speak of.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
