I've wired it up as suggested with the resistors on each channel before joining and then capacitor in series. All working really nicely.

Still scratching my head over why a capacitor on the ground wire caused all that buzzing....

Here she is - fully restored

All suspect capacitors replaced. Years of dust and grime removed. Brass trim and brights polished and wood sanded and oiled. Completely functional once more plus the added feature of being able to stream audio to the set too. Very happy
