I concur with Terry and Bill.

I just spent a few minutes looking at various Tropic schematics. I own four different Tropic models (41-758, 41-788, 42-730, 42-788) and all four use .003 uF caps from each rectifier plate to ground.

I haven't recapped any of mine yet - right now they are just "shelf queens" - but when I do, they won't have any caps across their high voltage secondaries when I am finished.
