The electrolytic caps (3) all check out okay but bulbs continue to blow past 30 volts on the variac.  I have one pos + from the electrolytic that I desoldered and of course can't remember where it belongs on the rectifier.  I'm recording everything I do now.  I'm new at this and find it's very easy to get confused! I can't raise the voltage enough to get the filaments to light. Something is amiss but I'll read the sch. and go from there.  Any suggestions would be apprecated. Just a note,  I replaced the 30, 25 & 20 Microfarad 3 lead cap with three (3)  33uf caps which was all I had at the time. I've ordered the correct caps from Just Radios.

Thanks,
