I've seen this exact issue nearly a dozen times. You have to dremel out all of the arced fiberglass and may have to run a jumper on the backside or use a razor blade and cut through the board to separate the two lines. That's a via just under the "E" on the left trace so it runs though the board. Any burnt material left in place can continue to arc. Also don't forget to clean all the leaked electrolytic and replace the caps. Also replace the 330 uf and the other small caps in the 5V circuit on this board while you are at it. I am finding that 330 uf cap leaking in around 90%+ of the original DE power supplies.

Quoted from McPin54:

Great News! Arcing has stopped and Everything is in good working order except the Display. Looks like I am missing -100V. Im guessing TR4 is my problem on the power board.

Did you add a jumper on the backside of the board to fix the trace you cut with the dremel?
Its the non-banded side of diode D8 and it's the junction of 5 components according to the schematics. Just see where the via on the backside of the board went.

The red area is what you wanted to cut out (or even cut through) to separate the shorting circuits.

Quoted from McPin54:

I did not. Is this why I am missing the -100v? ( and have no display)? I just received the two transistors for the 100 and -100v. I was going to change the one that drives the -100v. But your saying that I need to add jumper in the pic you circled above. It didnt look like I went deep enough to cause a problem??

Yes, you cut through a trace and need to repair it. My first pic with the 2 red circles and red rectangle show where the trace was cut. The rectangle is the now missing trace.
On the back of the board run a jumper from the non banded side of D8 to the trace that connects the middle leg of TR4 to the far leg of R13.
