The 55a uses GZ34s but can use 5V4s as well but also uses 6550/KT88s. Notice the .01uf cap going into the choke right off the rectifiers.Being it is so little,I don't think that can legitimately disqualify this from being a choke input circuit.I wonder its fundamental purpose because it's not going to remove any residual AC that would make any change in the DC voltage?
