I read on a resource website that I can change all my paper/wax capacitors to film capacitors of a higher volt rating.. Did I understand that right? And can I find the one with the highest VDC and switch them all out to film capacitors of a equal VDC or higher? I think I am finally beginning to understand this. I’ve got a learning disability so it takes me longer to understand stuff (especially when written and on here. I’m more of a visual learner so, please be patient with me guys. Icon_smile I’ll probably be asking some more questions
