Excellent! The parts list is exactly what I needed. I'm presuming that 600v poly caps and 450v electrolytics are enough. Although, if the leakage test goes up to nearly 500v I could be wrong on the electrolytics, so this is me seeking your advice before I give mouser my order. C6 is right across the rectifier and C7 sees about 1/3 of the same voltage through the divider, too...
R4 is the main current limiter, for shorted or terribly leaky caps, correct? Any thoughts on putting a 100ma fuse in line with the rectifier to protect the HV secondary winding in case of terrible things?
Thanks for clarifying my thoughts on the rectifier. Hopefully I won't need to source a replacement, but if I do now I know where I can get an actual I-V instead of adding a 600ma filament transformer and changing the socket or rebasing a 6X5 to fit.
