Ok, I just tested polarity. Voltage goes positive. I only turned the variac up to about 30 volts. I was nervous about ruining my last cap.
When it overheated before, It was too hot to touch for at least two minutes. During that time, I touched resistor 47, and it was not hot. I probably waited 30 seconds before I touched it, so it may have cooled off... but if so, it never got real hot.
