Hello - I'm new to this group.  I'm renovating/repairing a 46-480.  Someone before me went in and "repaired" it.  They have created their own RC network (don't know why)and they managed to take both ends of a 0.5uF cap to ground for their RC network.   Other resistors were moved from where they should actually terminate.  I know there are many ways to rewire things, but these termination points are going to the wrong places.   I have spent the better part of a day reconstructing the circuitry to see if I missed something.  Everything that I can tell, this is an "add-on", maybe an attempt to filter noise(?).   There is no way this unit could have operated because I found chassis connections that were severed.   I also saw where they changed resistor values from the original schematics ( by orders of magnitude).  So my question is: is it a wise idea to restore the circuitry connections and components back to match the schematics?  ( I'm also asking if I can trust the schematics).  I have to do all of this before I even consider a dim bulb tester - along with full re-cap.
