6080 sparking

Yes, the voltages at T7 and T9 are 102vdc and 104vdc.

I went around the power supply and just cleaned up a couple of the solder joints, made sure nothing was dry and removed any excess solder.

The joint that was dodgy was where the coupling cap and the output to the headphone jack join at T6. I noticed that while the wires were making a decent mechanical connection, I actually didn't have solder running over the entire hole in the terminal. I did test this joint for continuity and there didn't seem to be any problem.

Maybe it has something to do with the coupling caps? It's possible, though unlikely, that I overheated them.
