As shown in the picture of the initial post of this thread different output caps are used.
It looks like they're soldered to a different solder lug than in the manual.

In the manual it is 6U + 7U for one cap and 9U + 10U for the other cap.
Also the wirewound resistors are connected to 6L and 9L.

I assume the additional lugs in the picture above are added because of the size factor of the caps.
It seems like only the output caps + the wires that would normally be soldered to the original lugs are moved here.
The wirewound resistors seem to be soldered to the original lugs - this does not make a difference?

I'm asking since I also plan to upgrade my Crack with quite huge caps and therefore consider to use additional lugs.

The OP added turret post (single terminals) to mount those big caps to, then they would be connected to the terminals called out in the manual. No need to move the resistors..John
