Never heard of him.

princeton professor that won nobel prize for economic sciences in 1994....they made a movie about his life, a beautiful mind...russel crowe....played him...if memory serves me...
he was a very interesting person....a bricks shy of a wheel barrow load....but an incredibly smart man....

Gene, I see you are using film caps to bypass the rectifier diodes. I used to do the same exact thing (same caps, too!).
In an attempt to share the wealth, I will offer a tip that was given to me by wattsabundant, who knows more than I do about this stuff -
For high energy AC circuits, the proper bypass capacitor is the ceramic X1 Type or the Y2 Type. These caps are considered "Safety Capacitors" because they are far more heat resistant than film caps which are more suited to audio signals.
The X1 Type is known as the 'across the line' capacitor as in a connection from Line to Neutral. These caps are rated for 440VAC and will pass a 4000V short test.
The Y2 Type is a Line to Ground capacitor and rated for 300VAC and will pass a 5000V open test.
I also use these Vishay X and Y rated safety capacitors across the AC switches to quench the arc and make the PL700B / PL700 Series II switch contacts last longer.
The UL spec for these capacitors in our application is .015uF and I use .01uF which is close enough.

Now for the good part: These caps are only $0.25 each when you but 10 or more using Mouser P/N 72-VY2103M63Y5US63V0.

Try 'em, you'll like 'em.
Unfortunately everybody else must think these are a great idea as they're not available at Mouser or other well-used suppliers. 5/23 delivery expected ?!
This place has some, but it looks like you have to buy in bulk. Time to stock up!

I had a few of these leftover from the PL2000-II project where I used one on the power switch. These are in stock and are "similar" to the above. Would they be a suitable replacement for the ones that are out of stock?
