I am not really sure what those 3 big oil caps are for n the RA-101, but my guess is 2 are used for the doubler and one is the final filter cap. They look AWFUL big--MUCH bigger than most microwave oven caps do. And the transformer is NOT a little one either. The whole deal looks MUCH, MUCH too heavy duty to just power the HV for a pix tube--it almost looks like it was adapted from an X-ray power supply or such. And YES--I FULLY agree it easily would be able--especially with those big oil caps--of delivering a lethal shock.
Nonetheless--if mine was complete--and with the tube--that would NOT prevent me from messing around with it. But it is not complete--and only useable as parts--or for experiments. And if someone here who has a 101 wanted to get it from me to use as parts for one of theirs--I would happily sell it.
