It seems odd they would replace the 220k bleeder resistors and not the cap cans. I don't see any pictures of the top, are those caps original?
Flyback diodes help protect the output transformer if the amp is cranked with no load. This almost never happens in a Hylight unless a speaker cord goes bad, because of the self-protecting shorting output jack design.

All electrolytic caps have been replaced with JJ. They're all black. I hope that's what you mean?
The kid is jamming through it now....lots of punch...very articulate and responsive to pick attack.
