Low-boy,

The former posts showed a Bridge rectifier that was pretty damaged.

This is the same power supply?

So, to me this is not over, if you can't get the voltage up to 12~14 volts, then more than likely there is other damage to the power supply. (we're having that now)

I'm thinking both Zener's need to be replaced if they got full ripple current, they would cook crowbarring the ripple trying to smooth it out.
