Cause or symptom?

If the new rectifier is working correctly, there should be a DC voltage across the red smoothing capacitor, probably 24v, which should be getting switched to the coil of the plug-in relay when the torch trigger is pressed.

Thanks Eddie stuck a meter across the capacitor and getting 9mv

Have you checked the voltage output of the transformer before the rectifier ( the MM in AC mode) ?
