The link you posted does not download completely for me. From what I can see, the death cap is C2, .02uF 600V. One side goes to ground, the other to one side of the power switch.

One side of R316 is at 83V and between R316/7 I get 43V but on the other side of R317 it's sitting at 4V. I have lifted one side of CR308 (zener) which doesn't change voltage at node - what is dropping the voltage? All measurements referenced to minus terminal on C403.

Voltages around Q303 are:
VC=4.3
VE=1.9
VB=2.6
I'm still seeing LT 3V at C404.

Rechecked voltages around Q303
VC=1.9
VE=.18
VB=0
I have replaced this transistor several times with 2N3440...

note: Q303 previously replaced by 2N3440 250V/1A/TO-3 very similar to 40409/8
