I have checked the reservoir cap which looks ok. It is a 47mf, the original was 50mf.

When the set is powered on, the cathode of the rectifier steadily rises to 108v then stops. Then I noticed the voltage began climbing slowly, over the course of 20 minutes it rose to 170v then stopped there.

I have checked all components which I have replaced to make sure that they were correct.
