He couldn't sell the amp with that monstrosity on it, so he's selling it separate. Very resourceful of the lad..

That would stress the hell out of your rectifier on startup.

It should have a low resistance value NTC thermistor on the AC mains input to the power transformer to reduce surge current.

Forget the capacitance, Captain, the impulse power's a WEE bit drunk!

Captain! I can na' get na' power from the engines!!

No, seriously, the photo of those caps reminds me of a Stereo 70 I once saw. The chassis was nestled into the top of a wooden box, and inside the box were two caps the size of coffee cans. The caps were connected to the rest of the amp, but I didn't get to listen to them.
