The 47uF cap is the input triode's filter cap. In attempting to measure the input load resistor, we were also measuring the filter cap through the grid-to-plate short. Too bad, it was a nice Sylvania chrome dome 6SN7.
Between TubesForHifi's generous on-board filtering and our power supply, out ST-70's power supplies are stiff as a board. If you unplug it while on, it plays for about 20 seconds (until the cathodes cool).
