I tried Dave AB5S's LV hook up and it worked OK! I suspected one of the trio of 4th IF transformer filter caps (48-1A, 49-1A/B; .5uF, 250V) because they were a straight shot to ground w/ no resistors ahead of them. Sure enough one heated up. 

Disconnected it and measured the original 91 ohms across it. I am checking the junk box for a test-kludge and may order full set of modern replacements from Mouser: there are 7 of the dual units in there.

More later - hoping for a "smoke-free workplace" this evening........
