Thanks everyone for the usefull info. I really like the idea of that capacitor tester that applies a load on the cap. Probably costly though. Really I go with the general idea that replacement of all caps in the power supply is the way to go. Now I only can pray that the C2 3 section that I left alone is completely shorted.

I have only applied 110 for less than five seconds the 2 or three times I have tried this set. I'm hoping the smell is the C2 heating up, and I know they can heat up quick. The transformer has not even got warm but one time. The first time....If I get out of this one I'm going to put fuses in this set on every lead from that transformer.

Wish me luck........
