I  had my electronics store Cross over the old part number and they said 1N4007 exceeds the original diodes. So I have 1N4007's in there, I did notice that the picture was slightly better with the original diodes, but the voltage was the same. 

I have regular electrolytics om C1,2, and 3, I have orange drops everywhere else I can put them. 


C1 is 150uf 
C2 is 20uf , 22uf, 100uf, 150uf
C3 is 22uf, 10uf, 220uf

TVMAN the original diodes were silicone, but I have modern 1N4007's in there now I left the old ones just laying in there disconnected. The originals had a Philco part # of 34-8048-1 with replacements made by Federal having the part number HF504, international brand is SD-500, and Sarkes Tarzian part# M500. Those are the numbers we used for cross referencing them at the store.


I attached a picture of the setup below. If those ceramic caps shorted could they be dragging my voltage down? I've been checking my choke voltage on that read wire that's leads to the choke.
