You've got it wrong

You cannot ignore or eliminate either one of the two bridge rectifiers. The circlotron output stage requires two discrete power supplies, each with its own bridge rectifier. If you want to use a 4-pole capacitor in the output supplies, you will need two identical 4-pole capacitors, one to install downstream from each of the two rectifiers, hooked up exactly like the existing filter caps. Treat the 4-pole exactly as any other capacitor, apart from its peculiar hook-up requirement. IOW, when you remove the 27000 uF caps, just pop in the 4-poles. Do not mess with the connections between or among the rectifiers. Bad things will happen. If this is not crystal clear, do nothing.
