Default Taylor 61A

Hi guys,

I have got a Taylor 61A signal generator which seems to be working ok as you can see in the pictures.

The thing is that the manual tells me the power supply readings are as follows.
(A+B) = 6.3 volts AC, and is correct .

(C) = 300 volts and is not correct.

(D) = 175-200 volts DC and is not correct.

X Output is also correct.

Audio Output is also correct.

I tried to copy the circuit but it's in bad shape, so I have drawn a rough sketch of the power supply.
I have also disconnected the output of the transformer/rectifier to get my readings shown in the sketch. The scope pics are 1=5MHz. 2=10MHz. 3=40MHz. 4=FM.

The question is, why this should work so well at 25 volts HT? I have measured the transformer and find no shorts and the HT capacitor checks OK.

Thanks for your input.
