Re: Tempest squiggly in my text.

Any time I've seen this (almost always on a Tempest, oddly enough) it has
always been the electrolytics on the + and - 24 volt power inputs inside
the HV cage. Most everyone will tell you to replace them with 50 volt
parts. Any one I've ever worked on I used 35 volt parts but doubled the
capacitance. Say what you want, I NEVER had to replace them a second
time. The whole key is to increase the ripple current capacity of the
parts, which reduces heating, which increases lifespan.
