At this point, I'm guessing the new electrolytic filter caps are bad.
They test OK on my multimeter, but that's made for low voltage stuff.
I also clipped on my meter leads to check the DC output from the filter. As the power is turned on, the voltage rises to 510 VDC briefly before settling down at 260 VDC. Is this normal? Do I need to use 600V caps instead of the specified 500V caps?
