Looking to replace a capacitor on the power supply in Banzai Run. In the manual it calls for a 100mfd, electr. 150V capacitor. On the power supply board the capacitor is a 100uf, 60V. Are these the same or which one should I be ordering?
Yep, you need to stick with the 150V caps for that one.
Bad HV can be lots of issues.
First place to start is the 1/4A slow fuse F1 on power supply. Check with a meter rather than visually as a blown fuse can look good yet be bad.

Removed the two capacitors C1 and C2 from the power supply board. Tested them with ohms test. Here is what I got. Red lead on positive side black on negative reading 4.43 ohns. Reversed leads readings are 1. on the meter. I take it that these are both bad?
