Power cord has a 'capacitor' linking positive and negative?
Ok so I was going to replace this ugly old power cord on this game with a nice new one.
I go to the bottom of the cab and start to pull off the connectors for the cord and see what looks like a little red flat disk 'capacitor/whachamacallit' that is soldered to both the positive and the negative cables. It is attached right next to the blade connectors on the cable.
I've not see this before, what exactly is the purpose of having something bridge both wires like this?
And can I just hook up a regular 3 wire cable without this in its place?
