He is talking about one capacitor for each "leg" of the bridge not a capacitor across each diode. However you do not need any capacitors across anything when using a full wave bridge or voltage doubl
I went with the caps BECAUSE I DID see some spikes on the line with a scope and the filter caps were fine. Another went from the output of the doubler to ground. No more hash. Carl KM1H He is talking
