Hold it!! You guys missed one possibility. There are two black beuty capacitors on both sides of line cord going to chassis. Cut themn out. Then, do the light bulb test again without the 5U4.

I also agree that a resistance test is a very un reliable test for caps. Further, I agree that you would be far better off replacing ALL Electrolytics.

Good luck.
