Well,,,I Have SEEN..on MODERN stuff that uses a voltage doubler...if ONE cap in the doubler is bad and off by a signiuficant amount...the output will be very DIRTY. I have SEEN it BLOW OUT--as in physically== caps on the output side--I am guessing it will allow HEAVY ripple or such...

This problem occurred in Samsung DLP sets some years ago--the big cap n the ballast WOULD blow out...if one of the 2 caps used on the doubler...became bad and badly off value.. and the OTHER one was working..
