CR-1020 power supply recap

Was hoping someone could help me with a question on the CR-1020

I'm having trouble understanding the schematic for the power supply on the CR-1020. The grey wire, which is circled in the picture, looks like it is supposed to be -91V, however I only see -45V on mine when I disconnect it from the amp boards. I think this is related to a problem on the amp boards where both go to a huge 17V DC offset. The amp was working before I re-capped the protection and power supply, and I am able to get it to come out of protection if I remove the +B fuses on both boards. So I think the protection circuit is doing its job.
I can troubleshoot the amp boards but was not sure what voltage the grey wire should be, since -91V doesn't make sense to me looking at it

91v maybe pretty close.It gets dropped to around 57v via a 2.2Kohm resistor on the amplifier boards. Check fusible resistor FR803 ( 10 ohm 220ma) as well as D804 and 806. C817 and C813 too on the Electrolytic Cap board.

Also check for equal rail voltage B+ and B- at the fuses F601 and F602 on the amplifier boards.
 
I replaced both diodes to be safe and checked all the resistors - they were OK.
This cap, the 220uf C817 appears to be bulging and is brand new. Is both the silkscreen and the schematic wrong or could I just have a bad part? The way it is installed in the photo the + side connects to the large cap.

sorry bad post I initially thought it was backwards, but I was looking at the wrong side of my 2020's board. In comparison (Same Boards)it looks to be correct....kinda strange.

I had the same problem. Changed the cap but it hasn't happened again so i like to believe that it was a faulty cap.

Its installed correctly. If those diodes were shorted it would have allowed AC to get to that cap and that may have been what cooked the cap.

I had to replace both C817 and C813 to get this to work. Once I did that I was able to get -83V which hopefully is good enough. The amp came out of protection and I was able to hear music. So something took out those 2 capacitors after I replaced them - maybe it was the diodes.
Thanks to everyone for the help
