Any way i can reduce transformer voltage to my electrolytic caps ? Maybe with a power resistor ? have 125 volts receptical current i think this is problem .
tranformer rated at 750 volts . Idont have enough understanding of a bucking tranformer . Put some 4.7uf in and 10mfd at 450 volts they blew after awhile.
Or maybe i can do it at line cord. Icon_rolleyes

Thanks humbeled Denver.
