The 20 mfd electrolytic cap in the 120 vdc power supply ruptured. This
failure occurred with a possible tube short. Do not believe there is a
correlation. Replacement is simple, BUT would like to know if anyone has had
a similar failure and is this is the effect of another failure. I will
replace the rectifier diode too as it shorting would cause the cap to go.
Diode passes the simple short/reverse resistance checks.
Thanks for comments in advance.
