Did you do a continuity check from those posts thru their wires to the rear collectors?

Switching to SSB mode, they get full rail power supply voltage - you said something to the effect of 15V which is what I was concerned that could take out the radio..- you'd see the power supply rails' full voltage...

If all they did was replace the caps, then the previous owner didn't know that the power supply failure can take out not just the regulator, but the Final and Driver - it might help us to know the history of these radios.
