Glad you have it working now. Some times you have to accept how it is.
(The next step would be to check alignment, but it is easy to make it worse, not better until you know exactly what you are doing... so leave well alone for now.)

You cannot check capacitors 'in circuit'. Best to replace the 4 caps See_Mos refers to before first switch on on your second set.

But even before that, check the transformers and the speaker field coil (L18) for continuity. No point changing anything until you know they are good.
Then everything else as for the first one. You know the test points and volts by heart now!
