Early 1950s RCA console radio schematics

My cousin picked up a beautiful old RCA console. Unfortunately, it's missing it's field coil speaker (assuming it's a FC because of the lack of an output transformer on the amp) and it's power transformer has spewed some black goo (only the most scientific descriptions and terms come from me).

It looks almost exactly like this


That particular model appears to have an output transformer under the chassis (unless it's a choke) which mine doesn't. I guess what I am after is some opinions on the feasibility of finding a schematic and further, actually restoring this thing back to full operating condition.
