FCsteve Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 How would you turn the cap down? i dont kno what specific capacitor you are workin with. but on the one i had it was just a little hole in the top of the capacitor that had a screw inside that you could turn with a screwdriver. turning it changed the voltage up or down as needed. 610EUROs
