No dim bulb just a isolation transformer. Input voltage was 113 now set to 118. Neither cap is grounded but connected to center tap of HV. Transformer does not get hot. I have seen most 120 degrees. Running with 5X4. I don't have another. With 118 volts in caps are at 325 and 295. Didn't notice any volume change. All DC voltages I report are from VTVM (RCA WV77E). Should I get another 5X4?
