Is this the correct rectifier? Mouser Part Number GBPC3502 35A 200V. I ordered one of these and placed it in a Battlezone project that was missing it's rectifier entirely. But I still wasn't getting the voltages it seemed. I swapped in a spare brick with the exact transformer that had it's original rectifier and it acted completely differently.
The AR2 is not correct for this project as it's a -04 and I'm looking for a -02 to buy. I'm considering just testing at the 15 pin harness tap to see if this rectifier was correct.
If I knew a link or the page to what voltages I should expect to the harness it'd be a helpful comparison with the other transformer assembly. I'm thinking this power brick still has a problem.
 
Dokert sells a test harness for the specific purpose of testing a power brick or ARII.

If you required a 35A 200V rectifier, then that one is probably okay. Have you replaced the Big Blue cap yet?
 
Crap, your right. I forgot about big blue. Fresh out of them though. I could rob from the temp brick for the moment. I'd bought 2 for Space Duel and Asteroids, but now I'm fresh out. Need to order a couple more.
Can't believe that didn't occur to me. That has to be the problem.
