Default I was way way stoopid - need to unepoxy sumpin

Yea Chuck,

What I did was to regard a penciled in voltage on a schematic as real.
Previous owner penciled in 600v on the plate supply. So ok I figured
I'd stick a 450v cap in each of the two hollowed out cans and I'm good
for near 900v with a pair of sharing resistors. About the time I get
the caps all epoxyed in I take a look at the new Peter Dahl plate
transformer schematic and it says 700v on the plate windings. Sure
enough 700vrms is about 1kv, so my two free 450v caps aint gonna hack
it. I got some free 30mmx30mm 220uf 400v cans. I'll get two of em
into each can this weekend and I'll be ok.

Into the transmitter for about 500 bucks now and it's worth about 200
working. Needless to say I don't want to burn out the new transformer
with a botched recap job.
