Well, spent a while trying to run the set up slowly to reform the rest of the caps, but didn't have as much luck as I did with the first 2.
Pulled the 5V4 and 6BG6, reinstalled the solid state rectifier, connected the speaker, and started ramping up the applied voltage while monitoring the current being drawn, as well as checking the voltages on the +225, +150, and -85V supplies.
Managed to get the +225V supply up to ~120V before leakage current stopped dropping off and C127 started getting warm. That one refuses to reform the way the input filters did. Just placed a big order for enough caps (electrolytics and film caps) to do both chassis, so no progress expected until the caps get here sometime next week.
On the positive side, all the positive and negative rails seemed to be coming up proportionally, so the voltage divider string, focus coil, centering pots, etc. all appear to be good.
