The caps are #8,9,38 (I think). 

If those resistors were back in the circuit would that fix my problem or does their placement not affect the low bias, high b+?.......

It depends on exactly which caps and resistors are missing if they might be causing your problem.

I once had a Zenith chassis that had been hacked on and I had to retrace everything to make sure parts were where they should be.  I made a copy of the schematic and used colored pencils to slowly trace things out, correcting problems as I went.  It can be slow and tedious, but you need to find what is missing and try to correct it before doing much more troubleshooting.
