I will try to be as clear as possible;
My MA-1's have a pair of LV 27,000uF storage caps per amp. These caps are feed by two 'bridges'. I will assume these are bridge rectifiers.
There is a positive and a negative wire coming from each bridge. This means I will have 4 wires. 2 +ve, and 2 -ve.
If I am to experiment with a pair of 4-pole caps, then I only need 1 +ve wire, and 1 -ve wire.
I see a few possibilities: A) use one bridge, and leave the other one unused (yes I will put electrical tape around the live wires). B) connect the two positive leads together, connect the two negative leads together, leaving me with a single +ve and a single -ve. Connect these to the first 4-pole cap. C) wire the two bridges in series. In my simplistic mind this will give me 300V. On one hand this will work, since I will be using 500V 4-poles, on the other hand ???????????. This is where my education continues.
Even though I am 53, I can still learn.
