With all the valves removed I can measure 2-3V AC across the base for pins 2 & 8 of AZ31 (for rectifier heater) and 5 VAC across the bases for pins 1 & 8 for all the other valves. There is also 5VAC across the pilot bulbs.

There is no voltage measurable across C26.

Here are come photos of my work so far: please excuse the colour of the green & yellow wire coverings that I have used to insulate the bare legs of the capacitors. All I had available...
