Steve, the new capacitors are rated at 450v. The surge limiting resistor being used just now is near enough the correct value. I haven't been able to test the set since I installed that resistor, due to the lamp limiter fuse having blown and me not realising.

Col, thanks for popping in. Good luck with your one when you get round to it.

Now the lamp limiter is fixed, my next step is to fire the set up without the rectifier. All going well, I will fit a replacement 6X5GT, kindly supplied by Neil Purling, and see what happens.

Gus.
