I have found in a number of supplies the front panel adjustable pots
open up or the wiper go south. This will make the output go to max.
Another problem is small electrolytic caps in the voltage control

make things work for another 15 years (sorry Tony...).
Don't apologize. There's nothing wrong with that approach. If one cap has
failed, it's mostly likely that the other's aren't far behind.

copy of the 6285A which should be close to what you have.
Good luck.
