Firstly, I'm not sure my wiring is correct, so I just want to quickly  
confirm.

I have three black wires connected to one terminal of the capacitor:
- one grounded to the chassis
- one from terminal 5 of the transformer
- one to pin 3 of the J8 connector

I also have two red wires connected to the other terminal of the  
capacitor:
- one to pin 2 of J8 connector
- one to pin 4 of J8 connector

Is this correct???

Thanks
Phil
