Default Different capacitors in the chassis and different values in the schematic !

Hello guys.
Recently i finished my first restoration in a 61 years old tube reel to reel recorder (Geloso G258) .
Thanks God the process ended positively and the recorder works again very good.

In this process i met a big problem by trying to figure what value in capacitors to use.

I say this because all the capacitors excluded the electrolitic had different values from the capacitors in the sassi !!!
Not one or two capacitors. It's about 12 capacitors !!!
For sure i have the correct schematic.

At the end i have used the values from the sassi and everything works perfectly.
Any idea why this happens?
I believed that the schematic always corresponding with the real machine.

I really need to hear your opinions .
