This is very very strange because you have a A series 200 that is built like a A series k 400 in regards to the preamps being power by only a positive 23 volts.
It seems all the ones I have ever worked on in the passed 45 years have had the two regulatiors in them!

My factory supplied dealer schematics for the K 200A show it as having the 502 and 602 board that I have been talking about here!

Just a note on the bias string diodes in that at times I have had them test good on a meter, but break down under voltages higher then the meter applies to them.

It's best to confirm them good by hooking them up to the 34 volt supply and see if they block it.
