We built the device in the YouTube clips and now all my caps are marked!

I'd also love to see a dumbleator board with the marked caps!

Here you go; 2 minutes time; Joost learn the stuff! If you are as determined as getting your parts right, the sky is the limit and you can figure out a lot of things beyond how to mark a cap.

Thanks!! I am busy every spare moment of the day, reading, preparing, planning and learning to make sure I do the work, know what I'm doing and get the best results possible

A big thx to Gabby for posting that youtube video. My amps sound far better after following that. I had 3-4 caps wrong, reversing made a noticeable difference.

Thanks M Fowler.
I've used the aluminum foil around the cap method before but got too many inconsistent results.

Is there a simple explanation for why caps 3 & 4 are reversed? :?
