Sorry to All for double posting, I re-posted in the Tech Talk forum also as I felt this was a tech issue. Sorry if I offended anyone, my sincere apologies.

If your in Oregon i would call Stan Warren.
He was the S in PS Audio. He lives in Oregon.
He can fix anything.
I dont have his number anymore.
But i still have his address. He modified a few things for me like 10 years ago.
His address is Supermods, 2375 W. 21 Ave, Eugene, OR 97405.

The high voltage is tube rectified (very robust) then goes to a solid state regulator that uses a 2N3439 (I have seen some units use 2N3440) pass element. That part is known to fail with years of use. May be wise to look at that (silver TO39 package) first, might save you a lot of time.
