Another 90 Question concerning grommets last post.
#1

Hey, Groundhog, we have something in common.
Just got my nice schematic package from Chuck and it started some questions.
1. Both of the electrolytic cans have been replaced. One is a dual 10mfd, the other is, well, unknown. No markings. The dual 10 has both positive leads hooked together, presumably now a 20.
2. According to the documentation I have, the parts list lists the two caps as items #56 and # 57, both 10mfd +6mfd dual caps.
3. Chucks schematic lists those 2 caps as 6mfd each. I can find no other locations for the "other" half of the caps. I'm thinking that perhaps they used the double caps tied together to get essentially 16mfds for each.

Thoughts on the above? I have some 15mfd caps at 450 volts and thinking about using them an restuffing the original caps I hope to get tomorrow.

Thanks for any input.
