The cap in parallel could be left out.
The theory goes that since the cap has voltage lagging current and the choke is ortherwise, a cap could be chosen such that the ripple voltages will cancel each other out.
It has little or no effect and today most of us drop the cap.
The choke value usually is in units to tens of H.
AI gave 4-6H and 230 Ohm.

I think this one is 108 Ohm (found my own post earlier)

You could pad the resistance by using an extra resistor.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
