Sorry Sam, I cant agree with you. Those output transformers are fragile enough without you putting extra current through them because the coupling are faulty.
You check the O/P transformer anode to anode or better still Centre tap to each anode. There will be differences between the readings on each leg but dont worry about that.
Take lots of pictures, make notes. Draw out that tag strip and note where every component goes before removing them.
Remove the wires from the capacitors in the can, undo the nut, and clean the capacitor can where it meets the chassis also the chassis, refit the capacitor and tighten the nut and refit the wires.
I have highlighted the capacitors you need to change and the resistors you need to check, there are more but there are hidden.
Only when you've done this should you switch on.
Double check your work before switching on.
