That's ok John, just to say that the link I posted is not a definitive article on the whole subject of PSU issues but it came up in a forum discussion which i mentioned earlier...it would appear to have some substance and may be food for a bit of experimentation as the resevior capacitor does take a lot of current on the face of it. I will have a go when I get time with a thermometer and various values of resevior capacitors (taking into account the rectifier ratings) I suppose it would be tempting if say you had a duff resevior capacitor of say 4 uf to stick an 8 uf in if that was all you had to hand without realizing what its consequential effects might be.
