Hi Tom, yep, I did replace those 4 little 'lytics. I'll be going over the rest of the chassis when I decide to jump back in. I just have a problem understanding why it draws less than an amp at 90 volts but 3 amps at 122 volts. Doesn't seem like it could be a short as that would cause the amps to climb as soon as voltage was applied, even as low as 60 volts.

You know that old saying "Careful what you wish for,"? I thought "Heck, I'll grab a little ol AA5, something easy." So, I grabbed an RCA clock radio my son had given me. I should know better. I was not expecting the clock to be hard-wired to the chassis so of course the clock has to come out at the same time. OK. Then I discover they used those insidious one-way metal push on clips tp hold it in place. Not 2, not 3 or 4, but 5 of the bloody things. Now I gotta worry about breaking those 50+ year old plastic tabs. Criminy, time to get out the rum and lemonade.
