How about check for AC volts at your 450V B+ line.Originally posted by Enzo

My mistake! I just saw the double post and assumed.Comment

Considering the tubes are out, that seems quite high.
Maybe a bad main filter or a bad rectifier diode?
Also, those C15 readings need to be in play mode, not standby.Originally posted by Enzo

Thanks G1- That would have been my thoughts too, but AC after the rectifier is very minimal, and the D1 diode is brand new. I'll go through the caps again in case I made an error when testing them. Simply placing another cap of equal value in parallel should tell me which one is bad, right?
C15 in play mode- 200AC from standby switch/ 25AC after the cap.Comment

My comments in post #20 were about the 450v main high voltage supply. You should not have 45VAC there with tubes out. Check diodes and caps in that section of the supply.Originally posted by Enzo
