Good catch on the ballast resistor. "Gee, I've got a resistor that's the right size to fit in there!" Unless it was meant to be R215 in the pilot lamp circuit.

Changing the tantalums for an normal electrolytic should not make any difference, at least not in these amps. As long as the correct values and voltage ratings are observed.

Interference is possible at any voltage level, frequency is probably more of a factor though.

You can try increasing the values of C133 and C134 on the output of the two 8 volt supplies. You can also try bypassing C133 and C134 with a 0.1uf cap.
