I think you need to draw out the circuit for the PSU and output stage to see what mods have been done.
Thanks. I'll try that and see if I can post it here. As for the 450V caps, do you think that the other small (molded paper?) caps, there are 6 of those in total, would suffice with a 450V rating as well even though they too are rated 1500V?
