Only do this step if you purchased the Supreme kit. If you have the Complete kit skip this step and the one after it.

All of the capacitors on the next two steps need to be installed with the correct polarity. Failure to do this could cause dangerous and catastrophic results

To install the capacitors with the correct polarity the circuit board will have a "+" sign on it closest to where the positive lead of the cap should be installed

Axial capacitors have an indented ring on the positive side and a "-" sign in an arrow pointing to the negative lead. Radial Capacitors have a longer positive lead and there is a "-" sign in a band closest to the negative lead.

Remove C1, C11, C6, C15, C16, and C24, and replace with smaller 22uf/ 50v electrolytic caps. The voltage rating on caps for C1, C11, C6, C15, C16, and C24 in the kits can be anywhere from 25V to 63V for this part depending on our supplier. This voltage rating is a maximum working voltage and any cap at least 10V would be fine.

Remove C29 and Replace with 22uf/ 63v cap

Remove C19 and replace with a small 4.7uf/ 50v electrolytic cap.

Remove C36 and replace with a 100uf/ 100V cap.
