Good evening Jac,
If in the event one of the EY51 rectifiers is faulty, would it be a good idea to replace all of them with more modern silicon EHT diodes? I still have the BY182 and also a good number of 10KV diodes.
The oil, benign or is it of a possible harmful nature? But, before opening the transformer can, the components in blocking oscillator will be checked. Also confirm that the oscillator is operating at the correct frequency. 1KHz

DFWB.
