You really need to replace all the electrolytics, and paper caps before you power the set up. That includes ALL black beuties.
I also reccommend you get rid of the black body mica mold caps which are only paper caps in a mica style body.
Then, power it up on a variac of no less that 5A capability.
Let us know what happens. We'll help you.
