yup. 9 out of 10 times filter caps dry up and short --causing that arcing in the LV rectifier. It WILL become a shorted winding in your transformer if you continue to try to power up with that bad cap.
Generally any set of that age should be re-capped before trying to power it up. I check the tranny windings and fly for shorts. If they're good then i re-cap and go from there.
