This is great, wow! I am impressed.
Now if you could
1. Make it so it could be viewed a bit larger or blown up (not sure how - let's ask Ron, or scan it high res and put it on ...well....some Flicker or something and give the link), and
2. Clearly mark the capacitors in question (I don'ot know, highlight them and mark them as C1.1/C1.2 for the first one, and C2.1/C2.2 for the second, the notations being for the halves as the caps are dual. Also mark polarity.
3. Double-check this: in your L49B tube (which is the ballast)
http://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_l49b.html
both MAINs wires seem to go to its socket.
You did not mark the pins of the tube, and the ballast tube NEVER connects to BOTH Mains wires (it will blow).
However one of the pins on its socket could be a vacant one and used as a solder post which is possible but you need to clearly mark the pin numbers and then doublecheck against the link I have provided to make sure it is a vacant socket pin and NOT one of the tube's own functional pins.
Then we will proceed.
