Marantz 1040

Your pics are a little blurry.

Here's some pics of mine...

The pilot lamp is pretty straight forward.
Same two lead lamp as used for dial pointer in many Marantz receivers.

It connects directly to the green transformer leads on bottom of power supply board.

Here is the filter cap wiring....

I marked the (-) white wires and (+) red wires cap orientation.

Notice how the + lug of the top cap and the - lug of the bottom cap are connected to the common chassis strap.

I see that. Avionic pointed it out to me as my error. I have the cap with the whites wires backwards. Gonna change both caps again and everything on power supply board jus to be safe.
 
Also build yourself a simple "dim bulb tester" (DBT) to do your testing.

It will save you (and your Marantz's) a lot of grief.

Ok caps did leak out of a bulge on the base and not to mention the smoke. Here are the pics of it now. I'm really hoping I can save this situation
cant see pics too well ..take more straight on ....did you add the extra wires ?
 
Before you fire it up again, you might want to build a Dim Bulb Tester and use it after any changes. I would have saved the current carnage.
