unhooked the PT from the RC filter - and no tubes in the amp:
transformer side of the main filter cap shows short to ground.....boooo
its the can cap, for sure. all the other leads of the can (its 20/20 and 40/40) seem fine. would i be okay to just interject a separate large filter cap where that first section of the can cap is supposed to go?? think im gonna try that - seems a shame to replace the whole can if only of the sections is shorted, unless that means its time to toss it.....
