RE: 4 pole caps in a voltage doubler circuit

The "Atoms" are good stuff, but the values they come in are too small for a doubler stack. Use 820 μF./250 WVDC parts, like AA sponsor Jim McShane stocks and installs in quite a few "vintage" units. NTC inrush current limiting is definitely in order.

Want a coal black background? Insert a "hash" filter made from a high current RF choke and a 1000 pF. cap. (mica or NPO ceramic) between the doubler stack and the reservoir LC section.
