Hi thanks for getting back to me. Yes I measured about 38V with the 1N4007 in place that's with the selenium diode out of circuit. I've got some new caps arriving they're 5uF 100V working as they seem very suspect. Would these make the DC side low?

I think what confuses me, is if there's only 52V AC on the TX winding how do we end up with nearly a 100V DC as mentioned in post by old geezer if all is working?

Cheers, Paul.
