All five 2megohm resistors in the EHT bleeder chain have gone high value, same goes for the 1meg resistor at the bottom of the chain.
The 0.1microfarad capacitor is completely useless, it has a 10kohm leak. Actually it is a 0.5mfd capacitor. Same value capacitor is fitted in the T23.
Surprisingly, the 8microfarad electrolytic capacitor is perfect.
The EHT transformer and capacitors are perfect and are delivering a stable 5KV.
