Auto-On Shop Vac Controller Update 2

Single 4700 MFD electrolytic capacitor fitted

My dad sent me a selection of electrolytic capacitors, which arrived yesterday. I swapped out the bank of three 1000 MFD caps for the largest he sent me, which was a 4700 MFD. I had to crop its legs to get it to fit, but it's now in place, tested and working - thanks, dad!
