Caps in series

[DrRick]

700V electrolytics are tough to find, unless you have room for a big 
old oil cap. You might consider some of the modern non-polarized film 
caps; I belief some are rated for 400-500 volts AC, which should be 
fine for 700 vdc.
Ether way, I may have some thing for you. Let me know the space 
constraints you're working within.
It'll will cost you a sase (or sasbox) because while I am good hearted, 
I am one of the world's worst procrastinators.

If you go with the series caps, I usually use 470K 1 watt and a .01 
disc cap in parallel with each electrolytic.

Peace,
DrRick

Just acquired a Globe Scout 90 in fair shape.  Manual calls for a 22uf 
700V
filter.  Can't find a listing for 700 V, so I'll put 2 47uf 350 in 
series.
Would like to put resistors across them to equalize, but unsure of
resistance and wattage.  Any help?  Alternatively, anyone know of a 
source
for 700 (or higher) volt electrolytics?

Thanks!
