Andy,

Thanks for your detailed reply. That’s exactly what I needed.

I got the new capacitors in yesterday and have had it fired up through the limiter for a number of hours, starting with a 15w bulb, then 25, then 40w. No problems apparent; the current settled at 97mA and voltages across the two transformer capacitor terminals around 150v and 180v.

I’ve now switched up to a 60w bulb and we’re at 115mA and 187v and 214v. The can and rectifier are cool to the touch, and valves showing a healthy glow.

All looking good at the moment. Hopefully I’ll have time to get it all back together before the day’s out. Will report back this evening.
