A bucking transformer is a good idea on these sets. I have one in my 16B and have used it for many,many hours with no problems. I also added a CL-90 thermistor on one side of the AC line to prevent current surges at start up. Getting the AC line voltage down to around 105-110 VAC is a good idea and will not change the performance of the set at all. Check your voltages at startup on the capacitor that is having problems with the rectifier installed.
