No prob.. just busy here.... circuits homework again.
When you say this:
"as far as the capacitor is concerned, I don't see any numbers or anything anywhere...it's a big blue thing about the size of a soda can, and connected to the terminals is a little square block that says 5000W(i believe to aid in getting rid of the juice when it's turned off?)..."
That little square black thing... how is it (if it is at all) connected to the transformer? Are there 2 or 4 leads on it?Are there any other things in the power supply? As for the capacitor size, I have caps that are almost the size of a half gallon of milk and are almost 10,000uF and 75 Volt... but I also have some that are the size of a chap stick holder that are 2,300uF and 50 Volt.. just depends on the technology used and the voltage they are capable of.
As for selling the peltier, don't yet... lemme know what that black thing says. And who is the 'manufacturer' of this other peltier?
