Basically its doing the same thing it did before I replaced the power supply caps.

Then by all means do as Electronic M suggested and check resistance from each lead of L1 to chassis ground. You may need to disconnect both L1 wires from the circuit to get an accurate reading.(as Tube TV said above my post)
