Hi,
I'm building my first PS, the Janus regulator from Jim Broskie.
I only attached the 6.3v heater fillaments to the pcb.
On first power-up, after a minute or so, one cap, C11, started to bulge and vent. C12 seems ok.
I'm sure the cap's orientation is correct and I don't know how to proceed from here.
Any help/suggestions?
tnx

Either wrong orinetation or wrong voltage across the cap.
What is the input voltage and what voltage are the caps ?
