You all are great, guys, thanks a lot for all the advice and patience.
Sorry also for the late reply, I am a doctoral student and I had a deadline this week.
I just checked the value of the resistance measured between the + and - mains when switched on. The multimeter registered 0, so I shortcircuited R24 it as you suggested, StationX. The value reported is ca. 1329 Ohm.
My guess for next steps would be:
-Replace that resistor (R24) for a modern one (100 Ohm, 0.25 W).
-Replace capacitors evidently leaking:
- C31 with 0.022Uf Class X1, 440V
- C28 with 4.7nF Mylar/Polyester, 100V
-Replace the scary mains cable made of nylon by a modern one (2-Core 3A).
Does anything sound crazy?
