Hi again,
Just realized I meant to look for a 39-55 chassis not a 39-54. Must have fat fingered typing. Also, it came to mind that I should check the field coil as it may have been affected by the disaster. The filter caps would have been replaced anyway. Two of them were leaking at some point and the other has a bulge in it. Not quite sure what happened here, but I suspect that when someone replaced the line cord, they did not do it correctly. Either that or one of the filter caps went bad and overloaded the HV winding.
