Recapped this analog board because it took minutes to charge up the caps and to get to a working voltage, however since recapping I only get the issue described in the title. The same issue occurs with and without the logic board, and I’ve also recapped that too. Any ideas?
 
If there's less than a volt on the +5v rail, something is probably shorted out. You'll need to probe around the analog board for more faulty components.

You can try to work backwards from the +5v wire on the PCB and check everything back to the transformer.

Check your work. Might be a solder bridge somewhere or a cap installed backwards.
