Re: Electrolytics - FT-101B

Cleaned contacts in both relays with card stock and deoxit. Both were visibly dirty. Fired radio up and receive is OK, but I could not get any idle current in Tune mode. I checked rectifier board supply lines and saw:

+748v (vs +600v theory)
-180.7v vs -100v theory
+182.3v vs +150 v
11.5v AC is 10.5v AC
+14.2v vs +13.5v
Yikes!
No sign of damage anywhere. Re-seated relays, but no change. Checking tube now.? The PA tubes are different brands, so I'm guessing all 3 will be replaced before aligning the thing. But right now the big thing seems to be weirdness with power.

I feel snake-bit. Suggestions, anyone?
