Ok, I did some tests. I pulled D4 out (third 1N4007) and jumpered it from there. I also move the 100V rated cap (C13) to the space for the second 63V (C12) and left C13 out altogether.
The output of D2 was 49.2V and the output of D3 was 64.5V. The +48V output now reads +46.4V, which is plenty.
While I was probing around, I decided to check the two big caps at C1 and C7, which are both rated 1000uf 35V. But C1 is seeing 50.2V, so that is going to need to be upgraded to a 63V cap. I'm not sure if I have one, but I'll look around. C7 was only seeing 23.9V so the 1000uf 35V should be ok.
Anything else I should test to make sure this is all ok?
Edited for my mislabeling .
