The Lestronic and Lester boat-anchor golf car chargers that some folks use are made this way, too. That rectification circuit (reminiscent of a push-pull audio output with transformer) was common back when every radio and television set had a large linear power transformer. Now that most devices have switching power supplies, and Chinese diodes are dirt cheap, I guess you mostly see bridge rectifiers. BTW, though I don't use the GE chargers, I would think you'd have to be careful when ordering charger capacitors. They have to be nonpolarized and able to take the large voltages present. Motor starting caps are usually cheap, but I don't think one will meet the specs needed for the GE charger.
