Oh, and one thing about the caps, you can almost always replace old ones with a higher voltage (same capacitance uF values), but not lower voltage or different capacitance value. Newer caps are generally smaller, so you can get away with alternate voltages fairly easily. On Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 1:05 PM, Chromatest J.
