I've had my one near beer for the day, I was found diabetic about 25 years back, so now I take a couple grams of metformin daily. And I can testify that hind sight is a lot better than 20-20. Old age, it creeps up on you in very stealthy moccasins. And its a good idea to never look back, something might be gaining on you. And yes that supply s/b installed so it can be swapped out for a fresh one easily, the capacitors WILL die, sometimes a horribly messy death. Least dependable part in any system. We need to invent something more dependable for use as a large capacitance, but alu foil, kraft paper, and a cc or less of technical grade ethylene glycol is 100 years later, still the cheapest farad you can buy by several magnitudes. I'm also a Certified Electronics Technician, now long since retired after spending nearly 50 years keeping some tv station on the air. Its been quite a ride since I fixed my first tv in 1948, at 14 years old. Yup, I was a geek before the word was invented. But now I've had a couple health accidents that have slowed the thinker a bit. Most recently a pacemaker, I was getting dizzy in between heartbeats. Figured I had better get that fixed as I have a fading wife to care for.
