I replaced R-3 and still high voltage not as high though around 350V
all the windings on T1 all check fine 500V- 6.3V and 46 V. I do have to get a new 10K wire wound pot it calls for a 2 watt.

Congratulations Jim!.

Your initial suspicions about that transformer were obviously right.

Just out of interest, is the transformer wax impregnated?.

Regards,

Harry.
