Default Re: Restore a Beau Decca

That series arrangement is correct. It's necessary, too. With just one 100K across the capacitors, the dissipation could be nearly 4 watts. With two in series it's about 2W or 1W each, comfortably within their power ratings.

Edit (just seen last post):

The resistors are optional in the sense that leaving them out wouldn't affect operation but having bleeder resistors across high voltage high value reservoir capacitors is a useful improvement in safety since they ensre the capacitors always discharge relatively quickly after switch off.
