Thanks, Terry. Will check out #42. I've been using a power transformer I found from a model 610 to test. I haven't yet pulled the transformer from the 116X chassis (it just arrived on Saturday). Perhaps that 610 transformer just doesn't put out enough to power the 16 set. The reason why I didn't replace all caps at once is because this set was playing before I received it. The seller sent me a video of it playing. But, despite my pleas and instructions to pack it securely, it wasn't packed well and took a few hard hits in shipment. Hard enough to knock the shadow meter off and smash up the bulb and shield behind it. In fact the bulb connection from the shadow meter is what caused the filament circuit to become grounded.
