Thank you, Lynn. It makes me feel a little better to know that an expert has had similar mishaps.
Where I get flummoxed is trying to check the resistance in certain areas b/c it shows as 0 before the caps are charged and then it rises while they charge with even the small voltage from the DMM.
I thought one of the current limiting resistors for the LED was shot, but when I removed it... it tested fine.
At the moment... it seems that one of the bleeder resistors failed open, so I'm removing it to check.
I ran a quick and dirty diode check with a DMM for all 4 diodes / 8 sections for each rail, (they're double diode packages best I can tell with my limited understanding) and I'm trying to digest those results.
If anything... it will help with my troubleshooting skills.
