Mike,
Thank you so much for all the info. I have now downloaded the schematic and see most of what you are discussing. My model, it turns out is a 38-116, ver.125. I reviewed your link for fabrication of the Ecaps and looks doable for me. I do have a moderate skill level and tools, but it has been a while since I have used much of it, more focused on vintage cars and motorcycles. In regards to soldering equipment I have one too small and one too big. A newer Weller for PC board level stuff, and a vintage QuickHeat that I think is about 250 Watts. I have an older Philips scope, a Simpson 260, and a Fluke DMM. I just need to get to work. I have ordered Ecaps from the site you recommended. Looking forward to the challenge! I have a NOS small Monarch Variac that I need to put in some case and do a little wiring.
