Ouch! I promised my friend (and ARC dealer) that I'll fix /restore his old D51. At first attempt I replaced dead regulator tube (with kt90) and brought it up on variac. Everything seemed OK for a minute and than regulator tube imploded in sparks. First time I saw short so bad that it cracked the glass of the tube. ARC quoted several hundreds just for PSU caps.
