  After all it's a very good idea to learn how to read schematics and try to understand what you read. Find a list of the symbols at wikipedia or whereever and read through it. You'll understand the concept pretty fast.
  Then you'll see that with the 4 pole cap "+ in" connects to the choke output, "+ out" to the ECL82 pentode side's plate, "- in" and "- out" to the Ground trace. To make it easier connect "- in" to the hole that's there anyways for C3 - and connect "- out" to the GND side of C1. Before that cut the traces that would otherwise short the positive and negative in/outs.
  
  I use the original Rubycons for C6 and C7 so I can't comment on any positive effects when changing them to film caps. I would rather play with different rectifier tubes.

      Does anybody have any experience of changing the diodes to schottky diodes and/or replacing the rectifier bridge with four(?) schottky diodes?
