   errata from last post:   
      
   1)  When orienting the cap as I described, it is not only important to align a   
   20uf section with the rectifier, it is also important to align the two 40uf   
   sections with their original locations!  So, the new cap has two 20uf   
   sections, meaning there are    
   two ways you can orient it and have a 20uf section for the rectifier.  One of   
   them will give you the two 40uf sections where you want and one way won't.    
   Starting with the section to the right of the missing ground tab, and going   
   counter-clockwise,    
   orient the new cap so that you start with 20, then 40, and 40, then 20, again   
   starting with the rectifier's section and going counter-clockwise.  The other   
   way is 20,20,40,40 and that isn't what you want.   
      
   2)  I mentioned that the new cap was 500v, but it is actuall 525v as I had   
   said in earlier posts.
