Dominic, thanks for the information.

Yes, R808 and R809 are open. I will replace these later tonight when I
get back.

Question though.  Is that 148V dc I have on the cathode of D825 going to
go down to 130V dc when I have the resistors replaced, or could there be
a regulator circuit problem which I need to look after first?

I think I will connect a light bulb in place of the HOT to start with
and see what happens.
