True dat!
Seriously though, I know it's a pain but if you dismount the chokes it makes it a lot easier to trace the wiring and figure out the sequence. the HQ-129x is basically the same.

The legend on the capacitor casing is
16 / 450 - Red
16 / 350 - Green
8 / 450 - Blue
What I have is
16 / 450 - cut
16 / 350 - black
8 / 450 - black
So, even though I know where the two black wires connect in the circuit (both physically and on the schematic), I have no idea what one goes to the 16 and which one goes to the 8.
There's a lot of well cooked parts in that area of the radio. I received my parts order from JustRadios and everything is going to be replaced. The majority of the resistors are way out of spec which I didn't find unusual in the least.
Both chokes and the transformer tested good; I did that before I started on the restoration.
