The second capacitor is after a resistor and smooths out the 100Hz sawtooth, which is normal for full-wave. Duncan Amps have a nice PSU designer/simulator. It's why there is usually two capacitors with a choke or resistor between them. There is a maximum value for the first one due to pulse load on the rectifier. The one after the resistor or choke can be larger.
Correct but is the ripple at 100 or 50Hz, I'm not using my usual screen and i cant zoom in to see the settings on the scope.
