Hi Rich

Its C38 on the Bush schematic and is connected to pin 4 of PL81

Is that 1000VDC? I have 630VDC

The big fat white one is a Dubilier 1000VDC the yellow poly is 630VDC.

I will have trouble fixing the white one in place is its about 4 times larger than the current TCC waxy.

P.S. Just in case Heatercathodeshort/ppppenguin are reading all this, I will not change anything other than the smoother and follow your advice as given. But one question, do you not think i should replace C38 or is it likely to be ok with the awful current condition cap, I just don't want to blow or stress my new PL81.
