Do you have a metered variac or dim bulb tester to allow you to limit current to better diagnose this?
Another thing to watch for is most European imports and some Japanese imports have a voltage selector switch and if it's set wrong it could be contributing to the issue.

The Voltage Selector was the first thing I checked and it was definitely set to 110V AC so that was ruled out right away. I can for sure check the rectifier and the capacitors next to try and see if those are at fault. It would definitely be nice if I can get this going because its in really good shape yet, in fact its in almost mint condition yet, including the original grille cloth on the front which is still white and not discolored at all.
