rectifier???????????????caps????????jtm 60

[Jay101]

I have pulled out power pcb and noticed a lot of discoloration under the rectifier. Also the sloder has pushed out flux on the power tube sockets I know I know yes the tubes were hot plated....But what would common symtoms of rectifer failure?? or capacitor failure?? The rec. pins have a blueish tint to them also... My hopes are to get a rectifer replace it and the caps also if i can find them put her back together n jam well is dosent hurt to hope...right???Also does any one have a good link for caps I found a couple but none had the same size and well the jtm has heat issues and the ones i found are shorter and fatter moving them closer to other componets.
Thanks in advance for any advice..101 ps i have this thread listed else where in the forum i meant to post it here sorry for the inconvince,

The type of rectifier used in a JTM60 (BR102) is somewhat underrated, it normally needs a heat sink attached for proper operation. I usually remove the burnt unit and attach leads to the PCB which I use to connect to a chassis mounted rectifier. This kills 2 flies with one smack, you get rid of the heat dissipated to the PCB and also the recitifier runns cooler and uses the chassis as a heat sink.
