Chuck, nice setup!
Do you have an eBay (low-cost) source for the black jumper strip shown in your photo - I assume it's 9.5mm / 3/8" centers and it was cut-to-6 positions?
Why the electrolytic capacitor on the right edge of photo which is presumably between the + and - bus on the terminal strip?
And the $64,000 question...why is it set to 4.67V DC?

I got them from Mouser and cut them with side cutters...one pair that is kind of ruined for soft copper now.

I'm using a 12 position with 6 red and 6 black using jumpers.

I found that the Miller signs power supply needed some output capacitance and just left it there when I changed to the ebay ones.

Ah yes...I was between turns on the trim pot so I left it there. Sometimes I usually tap on the pot to get it to settle in a place that it finds comfortable and stable.
