I need to check the main electrolytics first with my cap tester. Only thing is the highest range is 2000 uf. The caps are 5000uf. I will have to try and and see. At least it should tell me if they are very low.
I will also check mains lead earth for continuity. Possible internal break. (I doubt it but you never can tell.)

Mike.
