I have been doing some more checking on the chassis. I have found one of the chokes is not measuring as it is shown in the schematic. Part 120 is supposed to be 400 ohms but it is reading 3K. The part may not be original to the chassis as I see some sloppy soldering and cut wires that must have gone to the original one. I assume the 3K is going to cause a problem. Do I need to locate another one?

I also noticed ECaps 126 and 127 are 8MF wired in parallel. Can I just use one 16MF instead?
