It's nice to see those reading off the transfomer. I was begining to wonder about a internal short as well.
Once those caps are changed it will make a big difference.
The heavy current load that was causing the rectifer to arc could have been partly due to some of the remainding old electrolytics trying to reform.
When they haven't had any voltage for long time they will pull a lot of current.
