Quote:sdradioman Does seem odd though that cap #59, a .03 mfd in the Bakelite block is rated at 600V, but then #61, .008 mfd, is rated at 1000V. Wouldn’t a voltage spike damage the 600V cap before it got to the 1000V cap? Shouldn’t the have both been 1000V??
It is odd I agree. Essentially the .008/ 1000V cap is shorted to gnd when in the .03uf 600 position.
(My earlier comment about the part #, I was looking at the non code 125 diagram.)
Putting the 2x .02/630 caps in series will work.
