The diodes replace the function of the rectifier tube. Put the striped end of both diodes on the 80 tube pin that the 8 mfd filter cap is connected to. Put the other end of one of the diodes on pin 2 and the other one on pin 3. Now you have a solid state power supply. If you get slightly higher than normal voltages then your 80 tube is bad. After all, it is 80 years old.
