Hi Karl, David,
Thank you for suggestions.

Your right regarding a better test for the caps. All I did Was remove all and tested out of circuit. Non are blown and they don't get hot, but it's certainly not given that they are good.
Yes David I agree it's worthwhile rebuilding and replacing all caps which I will do and I hadn't thought of substituting a DC supply for the rectifier which is what I'm just about to do.
Thanks guys, I'll let you know what happens!
