Your welcome. Hope I didn't overwhelm you with work to be done on these guys. I "feels" like I've fixed about 6ooo of the model 80's (in reality about a dozen or two) and their relatives (80,81,84,84B,37-84,600,37-600, and a few more down in the 50's) all have very similar circuits. Have done it both ways, gone though it troubleshooting as I go along and just replacing all the before mentioned parts. It turns out that with a few exceptions it was easier and quicker to replace.
Here's some reading materal:

Now I think I've got!
