But now the question becomes, how do I check how far from resonance am I
(other than by measuring ripple)? I've obtained the capacitor they most
likely used originally. And the choke is original too.

If you can measure the two components and calculate the resonant frequency
and calculate the low pass filter response, I think you can reveal much.
The AC input power frequency times the phase factor (doubled or not) will result
in the ripple frequency which must be accounted for.
