Took some voltage readings and this is what I found.
The tv chassis is a admiral 24d1 with one 5u4 on top of the power transformer.
With the variac set to 35 vac the power supply voltage was 6.36 vdc
Variac set to 50 vac the power supply voltage was 41.22 vdc.
Variac set to 100 vac the power supply voltage was 289. vdc
All of the electrolytics and paper caps have been replaced in this chassis.
What I have been finding is the sets I did leave the old working electrolytics in, Go bad when I fire up the set after sitting idle. Elcheapo {me} was trying to save money by not replacing the caps the first time around.
