(User Info)

Replaced the 4x 10,000uF 40v capacitors with 10,000uF 63V ones, powered it up and all seemed well, tried increasing loads all is very well, they show all signes of overheating.

Magic smoke had escaped from two of the capacitors


Since the replacements were physically larger(higher voltage) they just fit.


I haven't returned it to full service yet but am confident all is well.
