Agreed, and I am happy to do so too.
I still need to establish the value of the other components. The thing is, that simply taking measurements will tell me what they are now, but not necessarily what they should be. And it's the 'should be' value that I really need.
I'm tempted to plug it in and then measure the various output voltages. If these are true to the known spec then measuring the component values is valid.
The BIG QUESTION is. Is it safe to plug in? It has been earthed with the new mains cable, but other than that and the bodge repair it's original. I can't afford an electric shock. I've already had one heart op!
