Does this picture help in identifying the diodes?

The only capacitors we're worried about are the big blue ones, with values in 1000's of Mf. Those silver caps, and the ceramics bridging the diodes etc. will almost never fail. The filter input capacitor, the one most likely to be dry since it's subject to high current at turnon, is very obviously downwind from the diodes (next to the heatsink) - follow the traces. (Not the 100 Mf BETWEEN heatsinks, but the 1500 Mfd or so beyond that.) It looks like there's two that you want to change.
