OK, so I just figured out that that R28 a 1,000 Ohm 1/2 Watt Resistor and R93 a 15 Ohm 1/2 Watt resistor of which both serve as Bias Network Resistors were both way out of tolerance (way outside the +/-20% tolerance that those resistors were rated for) the 1,000 Ohm resistor measured at 1,488 Ohms, and the 15 Ohm Resistor measured at 32 Ohms, so with that in mind, would out of spec Bias Network Resistors cause the Low Voltage Rectifier to arc, and nearly redplate?
Also the 500 MFD 5 VDC Capacitor, aka the Bias Filter Cap measured at over a thousand MFD which means it was bad I'm guessing.
Also Is it normal for a brand new electrolytic capacitor to measure over 10% high in value? I'm asking because my brand new 470 MFD 16 VDC capacitor that was supposed to replace the old 500 MFD 5 VDC capacitor measured at over 520 MFD as opposed to 470 MFD.
