I don't have the schematic in front of me but yes parallel the cap (4 of them) with the resister, remember the correct orientation, positive to ground!I wouldn't change the sockets. Those fancy ceramic gold plated pins stuff made in China, look good, but have terrible metal work, and lose tension quite rapidly. You can get those dental brushed for bridge users and clean the sockets quite nicely. Use a bit of alcohol.
What I don't like about many ceramic sockets is that they have an uncoated bottom surface. Cleaning solutions seem to penetrate the porous surface and they seem to get stained permanently.Stu
While you're at it, I like to reheat the tube sockets for the 9 pin sockets with a junk tube inserted to align the pins. Had some problems with Mullard made tubes cracking from uneven socket tension. If you want more pristine highs and very fine detail you can use a solder sucker and replace the leaded solder with unleaded stuff. Try the output sockets first before doing the rest of the joints, as it is quite a tedious job.
