I think I may have it, I had to turn the screw about 1/8 more and they're all on, I just need to slide my indicator about 3/8 to the left and everything should line up. I probably still need to change the electrolytic capacitors in this for it to be completely reliable. I couldn't find the exact value for this unit, it calls for 400mfd @ 15 volts, best I could get was 470mfd at 25 volts, will that be okay?
