[Amps] How to know when filter caps begin to fail

[Rob Atkinson]

If I were you all, I'd either pay what it costs for decent
electrolytics or look for used oil caps.  This thing with reforming
and having one go kablooey -- not worth it.
Maybe you can find a few other hams nearby to go in for fifty 450 v.
330 uF from Mouser--get Illinois Capacitor or CD and save some money
by getting quantity.   Eight of those each for a 3 KV supply.
