    I've just been searching for the extra bits, and have given up on the search for tonight.
    Capacitor calcs work out at around 12500uF, and 63V seems to be the nearest, but neither RS or Rapid have anything suitable in stock.

    Farnell? They've got a good selection of transformers too...
    Put two or three 4700uF in parallel to get round the lack of stock. That also gets lower ESR which is a slight advantage.

    It's safer to go with two 15 V windings in series rather than two 30 V in parallel just in case the windings don't have exactly the same number of turns. I know they should but......

    If your still looking for any other caps I have a garage full! So can sort you out something appropriate for (hopefully) much less that RS or Farnell
    Drop me a PM, that goes for anybody else that might be interested I guess.
    Cheers
