Hi folks!
Hoping someone out there familiar with these turntables might be able to help.
I have completely recapped the external SH-10E PSU unit, as well as the deck itself.
On the PSU (whilst disconnected from the deck) I have set the two adjustment pots for 5V and 32.5V respectively, as dictated in the service manual. The 140V line has no adjustment pot. I just measured this rail and it reads 159V! Surely this is too high?
Am I supposed to take this reading (and indeed, set the 5V and 32.5V adjustment pots) with the PSU connected to the deck instead?
If not what could be causing the 140V rail to be so high? Our mains is a little high at approx. 248-250V - could that account for it?
Many thanks.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

P.S. The 140V line is unregulated, so I assume that once connected to the deck the 159V I am currently getting would likely decrease anyway? The voltage of C417 is 160V, so I'm worried about running that cap at its limit.
The 5V and 32.5V lines are regulated, so I guess it makes no difference if these are measured under load or not?

Just took the voltages again with the external PSU connected to the deck. The 140V rail now measures 149V so I guess (taking into account our high mains here, and the fact that rail is unregulated) all is well with that.
The 5V on the PSU measured 4.9V under load, so I tweaked that up to get 5V. Ditto 32.5V which needed a very slight tweak. I guess the newbie lesson here is to measure under load!
All working well
The only bad news is that the strobe has finally met its maker! Was looking at this LED mod (Post 5):

The poster mentions R1=2K11 - however it doesn't appear to be that value from the picture (red/brown/brown/red/black/yellow??!)
