Nice one, well done! It's a great sense of achievement isn't it?

Now, you can't call it job done yet though. Is anything getting hot that shouldn't be, like that large can holding the 8+8uF capacitors or the transformer? The transformer might get warm but shouldn't be hot. Remove mains plug before checking. Which components did you end up replacing?
