Okay I'll open her up later today and see what I can find.
I do have a working capacitor which is from the 50's (Heathkit C-3) the lowest leakage test voltage setting it has is 50V so I may not be able to use it. I did reciently get some other tube era cap checkers that have more features that I may fix and use if they will work with something this new.

Before I posted this topic I did a visual examination of the top of the PS board, and it looked new. No dust, bulging caps, or overheated looking parts could be seen. I beieve there were some small power transformers on the board.

Guess it is time to whipout the DMM and C-3 and start troubleshooting.
