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.
