Sorry if I'm off base, but . . . do you mean that you checked the power supply electrolytics by testing their resistance with an ohmmeter? I have found that to be an unreliable test. I believe the best test is done with a cap checker that applies the actual working voltage.
I speak as one who has fried a couple of power xfmrs in the past, by running a 'working' set before replacing
all of the power supply electrolytics. Now, I don't even think about it. Those filters are the first things to go!
