Hickok 288x
#9

Just a thought here, those caps C33-C34 are .05mfd. That high of a value can possibly pass enough 60hz current to cause a slight arc when connecting to a grounded piece of test equipment. This would be considered normal. I’ve seen this myself in similar situations. Replace them with “Y” safety caps possibly of lower mfd!
