John, thanks for the reply. Got lazy and have not recapped yet. Powered it up with a 60 watt bulb. Initial power up bulb is not lit at all after 30-40 seconds the bulb will glow dimly. After seeing this assumed no hard faults and plugged it in. Nothing fried or over heated. Have purchased the two electrolytic caps. Inspection of the wiring....it may be brittle but it is not falling apart yet. For some reason the primary leads of the output transformer had been over heated.

The tubes have all been powered up and it appears that all filaments are operating but will verify with volatge check.

Will perform the rest of the suggestions and post results.
