I know the term traditionally used for the big blue cap on the transformer assembly is the Big Blue. I have a System 1 and my question is, is the cap that sits in the bracket off the assembly and then wired into the assembly (nearest to door) also the same as the Big Blue if I need to replace? Or is that a different cap than the Big Blue on the assembly and if so, what is a suitable replacement?

Thanks Much
 
Yeah one on the brick itself is fine, I'm going to replace the other one off the brick sitting in the bracket near the door of the cab and was wondering what the best replacement for that would be. Was wondering if it's the same cap or not as the one on the brick.
 
Ah, so the one in the bracket with the purple/orange wires is indeed THE big blue. Is the large cap in the transformer assembly itself also a Big Blue then? I'm confused.
 
Thank you sir. Had seen the term and wanted to make sure the Sys 1 indeed has 2 and that I am replacing the one on the floor with the correct cap.

Thanks again
