I just finished my 89 and guess I was really lucky. All coils ohmed out real close to what was on the schematic. I recapped everything and replaced four resistors. I had a look at the coils for the green death and didn't see any sign of it. My radio had a 15k resistor on the 36 cathode so I dropped it to 8k. As for the bypass cap I went with a yellow .0015uf and happy to say the radio works perfectly. It aligned right up without issue and plays great right across the band.
So skyscraper, if you have any voltage or resistance readings you would like to compare let me know and I will take them from my radio for comparison to yours. It wont be installed in the cabinet for a little while just yet so any way I can help just let me know.
