So I tore apart the old 4.7uF 600V 940C 6W4P7K CD buss cap I still had,
and a brand new one......
I first noted the old one had an odor of "fried chicken" ;o)) I only have
my new Buck 277 hunting knife and my Channellock 349 linesman's plier here
tonight... But I think I see the end plate connections on the old cap are
"fried"... I think, "again", those weenie "metalized film" caps have let
us Tesla coilers down as we push thousands of amps through them :o)))
