"Chocolate block" capacitors? I can't find any reference to them online. I have replaced the 3 that were obviously toasted but all is still not well (HT drops after a few seconds). Should I replace all of them regardless. What type are they? Also what is the thing on the mains transformer in photo two that has been tied up with fuse wire? Is it some kind of fuse or thermal cutout?
