I started digging into the power supply section and found a bit of a discrepancy in the filter caps. The 2 paralleled caps on the output of the rectifier are listed as 8mfd each. Part number is listed as 30-2026. The two caps in my chassis are 30-2200 and are 18mfd each. They don't look like they were changed out and I can find no change notifications in riders. Does anyone have documentation that says 18mfd is correct? Should I stuff with 8 or 18mfd? I'm inclined to go with what was in it unless I can determine that it was a change make by some tech after manufacture.

| Thanks Morzh. So it appears I did wire it incorrectly and I have to switch the wires between pins 2 and 4.bobclausen — 09:24 AM |

| No, it's not a problem, just during certain condition it could show up.
Yes, an internal tube short could do that too.
