Reply to "MTH Z-4000 powering Lionel powermaster - no sound on Proto one - why ?"

I know a fellow from the old AOL Boards made these non-polar capacitors available and they work.  I hadn't heard about removing it from the Powermaster output.  What adverse effects are of concern here?  Back 20+ years ago, people were leaving these capacitors in the circuit when operating PS1 with non-MTH solid state devices.  

A club member was on the original LionTech design team. He said that the Powermaster was not designed to power a capacitive load and would be damaged internally.

Given that he is extremely intelligent, has an incredible knowledge of electronics, and worked on the original design team, I took him at his word.
