Well, it's finally alive and well. After the pcb's made it back home to Hugh and got their fix (T1,T2,T3+?), they came back and a few days latter I received a new set of rectifiers for the PS, so all is well. As I mentioned before, I forgot to disconnect the PS from the boards during soldering and the caps hold their charge for days, so lesson learned. Hugh as always was a pleasure to deal with.
Thank you all for your replies and help.
