Re: Capacitor and Output Transformer question for valve amplifier. Philips EV4437a
Finding out what's what on vintage amps can be tricky as there's a good chance someone might have had a go at fixing it before you got it. They may have got things wrong or made connections not original to the circuit. Example, someones put bleeder resistors across some of those caps, so don't assume the caps that are in it are original or the right ones.
This is a challenging amp to recap for a relative beginner, changing a few caps might be more than is needed, you'll need to go through and check resistors too and lord knows what else.
To find what bits correspond to the schematic you'll have to patiently go through with a meter and figure things out, it can be very confusing until you have more experience. my advice is to go slowly with this amp, it's an excellent example of Philips design.
I'm making assumptions here about your experience, no disrespect intended, Andy.
PS a lot more good quality pics of the whole amp especially the underside wiring will help us, help you.
