Hence my caution about just firing this thing up! :') I stand
corrected as to it being an electrolytic. Just jumped to a conclusion when
I saw what looked like it *might* have been a polarity marking. Big
capacitor = electrolytic (or maybe a Leyden Jar) in my enfeebled mind.
Wasn't really thinking too hard about it. Figured it would be best to ask
the assembled experts here in any case. And, as usual, they have come
though. Thanks!
