Hi Graham - at 220V setting I still get no HT voltage measureable across the smoother capacitor C26. I'm measuring across the two tails of the C26 itself or from pin2 of AZ31 to chassis. So does this mean that I have a faulty mains transformer AND a faulty rectifier?

(I get 310 VAC from either anode to chassis - pins 4 or 6 to chassis on AZ31)
