Heathkit Cap Tester C-3..Went to turn on this evening.. It didn't.. So took apart.. Someone had added a Fuse in the primary of the transformer.. It blew.. Replaced fuse and it Blew again.. So Here is schematic..

I measured the following..

Red to Red/Yel 1559 Ohms
Grn to Grn/Yel 170 Ohms
Yel/Yel 2.4 Ohms

Primary Blk to Blk 1.0 Ohms..

Nothing looks burned underneath.. Question Looks like they are using a 1626 Tube for a Rectifier? WHY??

I did pull tube and tested on Tube tester It did show a short when I pressed short button.. Could tube have gone bad??

I do not have another one to try.. Are there any subs I could use??
