Doug, thanks again for your help. I also sent you a private message last night, thinking it might pop-up, since you were in the forum. I guess it doesn't.
Anyways, I've had some time to work on the set. Had lots of time during the blackout, but you know why that didn't happen
I replaced the waxy-melted cap (you labeled #4) without doing any testing. No effect.
Today I tested some voltages. I had 18 volts at pin #4 (should be 26) and 316 volts at pin #10 (should be 280). Any thoughts?
Also on the previously replaced cap, what do you mean by NOTHING connected to the square cap? We are talking about those big vertical metal tubes on the top of the chassis right? Cause underneath, there are teminals marked with triangles, circles and SQUARES... you mean nothing to the square TERMINAL correct? Not the entire cap? Either way, there are things still connected... But I assume this thing worked properly at some point (actually when I first tried it out) so how can the wiring be wrong?
Finally, I'm still a bit confused about tesing caps with the digital meter. Do I need to clip them out of the circuit? Am I testing between the two leads, or from each lead to ground? Power is recently applied, but off I assume? This may sound embarassingly obvious, but you do mean RESISTANCE (OHMS) when you say RX1, right?
