THE OFFICIAL "HOW TO TELL IF YOUR MW TP IS OK FOR USING AN EML RECTIFIER"
FRONT OF TP
REAR OF TP
Here is full view, showing signal tubes to the left (i.e rear of TP perspective)
1) Power down you tube section and remove the rectifier, exposing the rectifier socket area;
2) From the perspective of the
front of the Transporter, look into the hole and see the capacitor directly to the
left (opposite direction from signal tubes). If your area is well lit, or you use a magnifying glass and/or flashlight you should be able to see the cap value. A 100uf cap is large, like in the picture. A 22uf cap is more like the size of capacitor "D" in the picture.
Although the pics above are not of my TP, nonetheless mine is a 100uf (even though I had a hypermod done, as you all know). So don't assume anything. Dan and John didn't go to 22uf until they realized later that, with the better voltage regulation of the hypermods they didn't need to stay with the 100uf's in series (i.e 2 of them). Instead they went to two (2) 22uf cap values.
As per Dan's message, if you have large 100uf's, cease and desist using the EML rectifier (any others we've discussed and rolled are fine). A hypermod or cap change (i.e trip back to Amboy) is the solution, assuming you want to use the EML rectifier.
