Thinking out loud now.

When these sets were new, capacitors were huge and no doubt expensive when they had a WVDC of 6000 volts. So, could it be that they used the absolute smallest value possible? So, maybe it would be a good idea to make them larger. Or would it upset the circuit?

Seems to work in this case. I know that you don't want to go crazy in a power supply (first cap after the rectifier) because it will stress the rectifier. Don't know what it would do here...
