Warren, you are purposely trying to be rude -- and it's completely uncalled for.

Shall I point out how many times in this thread I said I am going to take every precaution possible including putting a fuse to protect the transformer?

PAradiogeek did not say to replace "everything". The exact quote was:

Quote:I recommend that you replace ALL of the paper and electrolytic caps before you power the unit again.

Since there are no paper and electrolytic caps in it, there is nothing to replace, except the bad wires which I have already said I am going to do.

The rectifier tube was 50-73 years old. It went bad. It's completely shorted out. It happens. It's the nature of the beast. They do wear out.
