OK. I connected a 10 MFD 50 V electrolytic with the positive to ground and the negative to the center tap. It blew up twice. The first time I had all the tubes installed. The second time i did not have the 80 installed. The first time i had 115 V ac input applied. The second time I only got to about 70 Volts input on a variac. Don't know what to do next. What should I be looking at?
