I forgot to add that this is an AC/DC/Battery set. The cap in question even gets hot when there is only the rectifier tube in place. The other caps are not getting hot though. This is the second rect. tube I have tried. Both were nos and tested good on a tv-7 tester.It is a 117z6 tube.The only thing that I can think of is the switch is bad that is used when you want to run it with batteries. I do not understand the switch as far as how it is shown and what makes contact when. The reason is the switch to me looks different than the pic on the diagram. The diag. pic shows 3 rows of 4 connections with 2 extra contacts apart from the rest and my switch has 4 rows of 3 connections without the extras.
