Filter caps are at a minimum at least what was in the set, and are all the correct values.
Well, at last reading it was 243V, or 12V low. I haven't changed anything since, and the set's seen barely 15 minutes run time since.
Compare the two videos....the right side, which wasn't filled out, now is. However, the picture's somewhat bloomed:
Before the selenium replacement:

After:

The only thing that's changed between the two videos is the addition of the diodes and resistors, replacing the selenium rectifiers.
Now the only thing that I can think of, from a purely mechanical standpoint (which may be off, but makes sense to me) is that the heat sinks on the selenium rectifiers were massive. In this case, we're asking a much physically smaller component to do the job of two that were much larger. To me, it almost makes sense that the resistor would get really hot just because of that. But I don't know, because I've never done this job before
Hoping some others will chime in with thoughts as well.
