However, after desoldering it from the board (which is a real pain with the two large mounting legs), and measuring capacitance, one of my meters couldn't measure it, and the other read 0.185 nano Farads. Both of these meters read the capacitance of other small capacitors I have on hand perfectly, so the meters are fine. ESR of the other large capacitors is about the same, but I'd rather not desolder them from the board if I don't have to, to prevent damage to the fragile traces.

When turned on, there is nothing on the screen, even when pressing and holding beam finder, and the power light doesn't come on. The only control that seems to work is scale illumination, which makes the screen glow orange when turned up.

The power supply wiring diagram at the back of the manual shows two blue wires from the transformer, going through a fuse F4501 (desoldered and removed from board, it's good), then through a rectifier bridge CR4411, which is also good.
