Hextejas:
What a dummy I am and what a lesson learned.
There was more thanv1 thing wrong with this and I am going to take the advice to desolder everything, test the components and start with a new board.
The picture says it all. 2 bad resistors and 1 bad diode. Plus apparently, it blew the wall wart as well.
Sheesh.
Oh Yeah, I built a very handy $15.00 kit that let me test the capacitors. It could also test the diodes if my meter did not have that feature.
De-soldering is not fun 😦😡

With proper tools desoldering is a piece of cake. Hakko 808 is some of the best money I ever spent.

Buddy, you are trying to build a project with the wrong parts. If you have more than 50Vdc on a 50V cap you are asking for trouble.
I second GeoffreyF's advice, go read some theory about what you are doing, and learn to at least be safe.
The books he recommended are great!

Probably just a language issue, but you do come across as a bit condescending. For future posts, I would suggest omitting the "buddy" part.  ::)

I didn't think it sounded condescending, it's a fairly normal way of speaking in some regions.
