I recently restored a 38-116. According to my notes I checked 12 resistors and 6 paper caps in the sub chassis. All paper caps failed leak test at a 10V load. I suspect your problem results from paper caps that have not been replaced.I replaced all paper caps and 3 sub-chassis out of spec resistors. But now I regret not replacing the mica caps in the sub-section. If one fails the sub-section will have to be pulled again. Recommend replacing those micas as a precaution. Complete alignment after recap is required.
