Yep that transformer circled is the one prone to cold solder joints and arcing.

I just happened to find a pic one online:

Does the bridge have to be de-soldered to test? The transformer connections look good. Found two caps for $8. Is that a good price? They appear to be a brand called Negetive. Never heard of them.

i want to check that bridge before i put new caps in. does it need to be pulled to test? what brands of caps are recommended? i dont want to use cheap caps and Radio Shack is out of the question.
