Yes I did change RECTIFIER as I thought it was faulty but know put original back a day ago and all seems to run well apart from smoke on resistor .My volt meter reads 200v AC and750v AC so I took readings on resistor on750 and results are there are 3pins two segments first segment reads 200ohm and volts accros it is 110v and second segment at 1.5k reads 230v if I set meter to 200v AC I get 200ohm 11.0 and 1.5k at23v I have not squared any of these as I not sure which is correct if I measure straight across I get 132 v AC maybe you can let me known if this makes any sense to you many thanks
