Right!

KABOOM!!!

If you have never seen an electrolytic explode, you
are in for a real treat.

Just make sure to stand WAY back from the rig.

If it were mine (and I have one of these rigs) I'd
replace the caps by using 600 volt units underneath
the chassis.  No need for fireworks (and if you don't
believe, it WILL make a believer outta ya).
