Boy I wish this schematic had voltages on it. I have straight contact cleaner but I can use the 99% alcohol (here in texas our isopropyl alcohol is 99% instead of 90-92 like most other states). so these two caps would act like an EMI supression (Y type) cap? Could I get away with just a 1600 Volt cap? hmmm .5 and 1.0 are going to be expensive. I guess I can test these metal ones on my Eico 950B. I don't get to take that out and play with it too often. it's going to be a lot of fun trying to get at the paper caps that are under the plate where the vibrator, power transformer and the dual 8 mf can sit out, re-stuffed and put back. plus it's a real jungle under that chassis.

I'm working on a little power supply for this anyhow. I have prepared myself for needing to get a 6 volt gel cell due to noise, if I can get this to work. Although, a 3 amp transformer, a rectifier, a regulator and a couple of low voltage filter caps don't cost much. I need the electronic project practice anyhow. I'm committed to this now as I just picked up a replacement output transformer for the speaker. I'm a little worried about the permanent magnet. it doesn't seem to be very strong.
