Thanks for the reply and advice John, I checked everything again and I found that the 35V / 330uf capacitor which is the largest of the capacitors has, and I mean barely noticeable, bulge on the end compared to the others. Nothing else appears out of place, loose or causing any type of a short. I will use your advice and get a new MTH battery for all the remaining startups and then switch over to the BCR,s. Again, thanks for your help and advice with this. A few more questions if you can help.

Can I use a 9V battery for the startups if the specific unit manual states this? And, would you replace the PS2 board, if available, or is an upgrade to PS3 with this particular unit, (MTA R-21 30-2198-1) possible?
