I do not own any TenTec equipment but, out of curiosity, I did a
google search and eventually found an excellent schematic courtesy of
a frequent contributor to this reflector. (Thanks Jim, K9YC) The caps
are 400uF 450v which, in decent quality 105C form, cost far less than
$800! 470uF might be easier to find at $35 to $50 for ten of them.
Of course, you must be able to work on a high voltage supply.

He said there was a mod that added another diode to each leg of the bridge
that probably would have saved me. I paid him for the diagnosis and brought
the amp and supply home. The bad news is the caps alone are around $800.
Other parts, labor and I am probably looking at $1200 or more. I don't have
that kind of cash and if I did I'm not sure this would be the most effective
way to spend it. So, I am trying to figure out my options.
