Correction: Power-rail short could certainly kill a single rectifier. But
having multiple die so easily makes me think of the transformer.

Well, all the voyages are correct. And I used to have quite nice outputs on all outputs. Current limiting bulbs are not lighting up either. So I don¡¯t think there is a shirt on the PT. Remember that this unit had quite a lot of issues. Maybe that stressed the old original rectifiers quit a bit over time. Once the unit was functioning at full power, the remaining original rectifiers gave under stress. That¡¯s my guess¡. The new ones seem to be holding up quite well, and again all required voltages are fine. I doubt they would be if any short was anywhere in the PT¡. Or I¡¯m missing something¡
