Another way you can discharge the caps is with the multimeter. Select high voltage DC (>600vdc), hook one leg of a 1K resistor (1w) to the positive lead on the meter. Touch the neg lead to ground and the free leg of the resistor to the cap positive. Doing ut this way both discharges the cap and shows you viabthe meter if there is any voltage present. I modded a cheap meter for this process with a couple of banana sockets. Works a treat.

I’ve got a pic of mine on my phone but can’t seem to attach it! I don’t use image hosting so I could try PM or something

All good. I have some other things on this evening so I'll have a look at that tomorrow.

You'd almost describe that as a guilty blush.

Looking at the circuit you previously linked that had a solid state power circuit I suspect this will probably be very similar, why re-engineer what you don't have to

Yeah that part of the diagram looked the same to me.
