 Well I went back to CD web pages and did a little more digging. The 381
type caps are high ripple and have a rating of 1.8 amps at 120 Hz. This
should work for my P/S as I do not intend to load it very heavy.
 
>This also brings up another question, I am going to use an old
transformer. It has 230v input, three input terminals, out put is with
terminals 1-2, 3000vac, with terminals 1-3 ,2090vac. Resistance is
.45ohms 
input(1-2) or 1.02ohms input (1-3), output R is 41.4 ohms at terminal
4-5. 
In another thread it was brought up about transformers for a choke input
might be a problem?? How do I tell and why do I care? This is an old
surplus transformer even to the point of having spark gap balls in
parallel with the output terminals.
I intend to build this with a soft start relay set up.
