Whew!!, after reading all the preceeding posts, glad that power transformer survived!! Note to newbies! Never, ever,ever, plug these sets in and turn on the switch until the power supply caps have been replaced and check all wiring. And always check the field coil before applying power also. Only after that, you can safely apply ac with a variac and apply the ac voltage up very slowly and monitor the amperage current draw to primary of power transformer. May I nickname you "Lucky"?
