Replaced the caps, and checked resistors. Changed the 6.8ohm resistor to 4.7 1/2w. Now I bring up the AC voltage to 30v(double checked with meter) and the 135v line is only at about 0.4v. checked the voltages around the converter transistors and the voltages are 1/4 of normal I think it should be. The part I am worried about is the 135v line, you mention it should be at 135v when the variac is at 30v AC. I just am unsure of this, I do not want to destroy another pair of $18 transistors...
