Model number? I may have the schematic if you don't. The selenium rectifier is usually marked (+) or red on the cathode terminal. This is banded end of the silicon diode. Yhis is the rectifier output to the filter caps. A 39-100 Ohm 2 watt resistor in series will drop about 4-10V, and provide a little surge limiting. If there's a resistor already, you can increase it (but I'd leave it myself...). The bumblebee capacitor is leaky - trust me! Replace it with a .01 or .015 uF 'Y' capacitor. 'Y' capacitors are designed and safety tested for line-to-ground connection. Modern equipment MUST use these to get safety agency (UL, CSA, etc.) approval. .015 is the largest value that would meet the ground leakage current limit (0.7 mA maximum).
