[Amps] Drake L7 PS questions update

[RMead100@aol.com]

Greeting to the list

Having obtained the parts to rebuild the smoked PS from the L7, and located 
some printed circuit boards which will work with some slight modifications,  
I wonder if there is any logical reason to add a capacitor(with equalizing 
resistor) or diode in the each string of the voltage double circuit. The 
stock circuit uses 7 diodes and 4 caps in each leg.  The PC boards I obtained 
have some extra capacitor and diode space that I will otherwise jumper, and I 
have an extra capacitor for each leg of the doubler. I also have extra 
diodes. 

Seems to me that if I add a diode, it increases the PIV factor of the string, 
and adding capacitance gives me some extra filtering cushion. 

Is there a good reason not to do this ??
