I have this set right now that had a bad output transformer and the only thing ever done to it was the replacement of the two 8 mfd filter caps. He used a 10 mfd for the rectifier side and a 60 mfd for the speaker side. Does the that 60 mfd and a bad OT go together? Did he just run out of 10 mfds? Thoughts? (every other cap is original and I can't wait to tear into this one, but that 60 is puzzling.) It's a Silvertone 1585 or Colonial 62)
