I am replacing the filter cap in the hv section of my Thunderbolt. I will 
be using 2 caps in series. The power supply filter is the choke input type 
using a swinging choke. It supplies 2200 volts. Do I need to add equalizing 
resistors across each cap. Depending on who I talk to, Ive been told I do 
need them and than again I dont need them. Which is correct. If I do need 
them, what size should they be. 100k at 10 watts is what Ive been told.
Thanks,
