RE: Calm down

"Anyway, I want to know how to troubleshoot a power supply that is exceedingly simple. "

How simple?

If you could show a schematic it would be simple for sure.

Looking at the operating manual (page 4) I don't see a tube rectifier and I don't see a choke and I see two filter caps so there are some things I can assume.

It's either a SS bridge with the negative side grounded and the power transformer HT winding does not have a center tap or it does have a grounded center tap and it's full wave rectification with just two diodes.

Either way the output of the diodes (positive side) will just feed the first cap with a series resistor after that feeding the second cap. The feed to both output transformers should be at that point with other drop resistors and other smaller filter caps feeding the front end stages.

(The filter caps might be multicaps but the B+ should go through two filter sections before feeding the output transformers)
