I'd have a very good look at all of the wiring before applying any power and make sure the wire insulation's intact so you don't short something out. The wires insulating covering either 'melts' or cracks.

Also make a photographic note of how the two smoothing electrolytics capacitors are wired above and below chassis if you're going to replace them with anything underchassis.

These sound pretty good.
