Correct, im trying to figure out which diodes these are on the schematic, to inturn know their type.Those little things you circled look like diodes to me.
The big ceramics are resistors.
If you demount them they will be marked..
Perfect, thank you for the info and tip.D1 is a 1N4744, D101 is a 1N4148
Thank you very much. This clears up my confusion.The components you're looking for are R1, R2 (2.4K, 5W) and D1, D2 (Both 1N4744) as shown in following schematics and diagram from service manual:

I plan to eventually do a full WOPL conversion. Starting little by little.Same parts I found "browned" on the PL36 board I just replaced with a WOPL board. I replaced the parts, but they still heated up to an unacceptable level. Keep track of the orientation of the Diodes. I seem to remember having a question about that with the PL schematic vs what I found installed. May have been a mistake of a previous tech, not sure.
I read about this in another site, but did not have all the info this bulletin gives. Thank you. I will consider it, however I already ordered the 2.4kohm. Perhaps in a few months, but then again, im going to eventually do WOPL.I’d suggest you upgrade the 2.3k 5 watt resistors to 7.5k 5 watt and change the ic’s to lf351 type
here is the PL docView attachment 81717

Attached is the service manual. see the bulletins. It wouldn't hurt to add a small electrolytic cap, say 100uf/25 volt and a 0.1uf film cap in parallel with the zeners.
