Default Capacitors 101

Graham, Dave, thanks for the input. I'll consider replacing the cap
with the initial value just err on the side of caution and avoid a call
back. This being said, I've had better luck in the past with closer
values, within 100uf or so. Happy Holidays
Cheers, Steve

Within certain limits. More likely it'll make the inrush current last longer, which
could indeed also blow the fuse.
