[QUOTE="handsome, post: 1076177, member: 772"] Bad caps will let DC through hence a path to ground so yes they could have taken out your rectifier. 450VAC caps will handle 600VDC but what voltages is your amp using? Measure the power transformer outputs without the rectifier valve in its socket. RS sells motor run caps - they are usually polypropylene so much better than electrolytics - browse the polypropylene capacitor section Sent from my SM-A715F using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
