Re: IML: voltage regulator contacts burning

["Dave Wilker" <wilkerbeast01@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, I don't know the specific capacity, but I THINK there is a filter (a 
metal can about an inch long and half an inch around) mounted to the ground 
with a lead to the positive terminal. The transfer of material on the 
contact faces in an indicator of a bad capacitor/filter. Someone with more 
knowledge that I should be able to tell you the specs.
