Default Murphy A372 VHF restoration

Hello follow members, it's been a while.

I have come across a fairly tidy 1957 Murphy A372 set with MW, LW and VHF.

https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/murphy_a372_a_372.html

It's in good shape, but the mains rectifier is missing along with it's output smoothing cap.
Someone removed them but didn't go any further, there is an ample layer of dust inside the chassis to indicate it's not been removed (thankfully).

The smoothing cap must have leaked and shorted, the remaining wires are burnt and there is blackened scorch marks on the chassis.
Hopefully that's all the matter.

'That cap' Af coupling cap (C73) is first item to be replaced, after replacing the rectifier, which a fellow member has to hand!!! cheers John Joe.

I have the schematics from radiomuseum... But no component locator or alignment guide.

If anyone can supply these it will help a lot.


Thanks
