Hello,

Last question on Caps, I promise. The electrolytic caps currently installed are Aerovox 20uF 450 vdc ( They say Dry , labels are paper black and yellow ) don't know how old they are. Would like to replace but can only find one the same diameter as my clamps 1 3/8", but value is 250uf @ 500vdc. The only other ones that will fit are multi section at 32uf/32uf @ 500 vdc. They are pretty close in price.... can you use the multi section only using one leg ?

Kurt
