Why don't you trace it out, draw it up, and post it for the rest of
us (on alt.binaries.schematics.electronics.)

I doubt it is over 600V, probably around half that. What is the
voltage rating printed on the big capacitor? It won't be greater
than that.

Hi David...
I'll be happy to do that if the information is not already out there.
But I'll wait a few days to see if anyone responds with a URL.
The capacitors are all 330v and 80uF.
Thanks!
