But I can't see any sign of anything nearby having burned up. shrug


You were dialing the unit up in an effort to reform the electrolytic
capacitors, and if you didn't know that before now you do (look up the
term).

Electrolytic capacitors in the primary lower voltage power supply are
the first suspects. I am not familiar with that unit, but there should
be a section with B+ and possibly B- supplies - their filter caps are
suspect. Also check if their bridge rectifiers were damaged, however
that usually doesn't happen when a cap blows up.

Of course there are or should be fuses on the main power bus lines,
check them and replace after finding the culprit.
