Thank you every one for your contribution and as Collin has mentioned the fact that they did not use electrolytic caps that takes the confusion out of the equation. I found out the problem with the HT dying, the 4uf smoothing cap positive had a wire linked to the headphone socket this terminal going direct to chassis and as luck has it the 2uf and 4uf smoothing were ok and had no sign of leakage. but still plenty of caps to change yet, I keep finding them everywhere.

More to follow soon.
