Hi All;
Old Coot, Thanks for the input.. I have tried all three rectifier tubes by themselves.. At 60 volts plus Bulb input to the transformer, I get about 160 volts from the Rectifier tubes, each checked by itself.. This is with a DMM and no Cap.. There are no other tubes in the Set.. Don't want to create other unwanted problems.. So, next, I will do as you have suggested, Tieing on one cap and so forth at a time, until I find what is pulling things low.. But, this way, at least I know that it is not the Rectifier tube that was causing the problem.. Thanks for your help and suggestions.. More updates, as I work my way thru things.. In answer to your Heater voltage The 5U4 is a 5 Volt tube, and so my readings of 3.4 volts and 4.7 volts were for the Rectifier Tubes, not for the other Heaters, ever though I had in the past check the other Heater voltages before I plugged in the Rectifiers, and they were OK..
THANK YOU Marty
