[Amps] Hunter 2000C recap suggestions

[jeremy-ca]

If you use 8 of them the total C is only ~ 16MF @ 3600V.

Id suggest buying 8 220 MF 450V CDE 381LX series Cornell Dublier caps from 
Mouser. Or the 330 MF if you have the room.

The originals only have a total rating of 2850V so what is the actual HV? 
Its certainly not 3KV.
