Electronic filter box

[Pete Masterson]

I encountered mine when I was taking out a sofa -- wasn't sure what
it was, so I opened it up. It had 3 very large capacitors and some
wires. I suppose it's possible that a capacitor could short out or
something, but it's really a fairly simple circuit. I'll leave it to
the more electronically inclined to explain the specifics of the
operations, but it works sort of like the way a reservoir "smooths
out" potential floods after a rain... power (water) enters the
capacitors (reservoir) then departs in a controlled rate. Not much to
go bad or fail.
