Why does my GenCon have a blown capacitor at position C22?

If capacitor C22 blows out, the cause is most likely an incorrect polarity on the 1/8″ phone plug on the Radio Shack 273-1764 AC power adapter. A negative voltage on the plug tip will always blow out C22. The GenCon must be returned to Westhaver Associates for repair.
