Hi Jay,
I have been lurking here for a while and finally registered.
If the online schematic is muddy or you can't read the writing on certain pages, let me know, and I can make a copy from my Rider's Manual for the Zenith. Sometimes the scans at nostalgiaair are hard to read, especially if the printing is very small.
I can echo the recommendation of replacing all the caps with new ones. Those NOS caps, even though unused can become leaky over time, so why risk damage on a nice set? THe NOS ones you may be able to sell online for those using the caps in low voltage applications.
Just a personal note, if I found a "virgin" chassis that had all the original caps still in place, I'd restuff them with the new components. Some may not care because it is the underside of a chassis. That's a personal choice. But if you don't restuff, perhaps save the old caps in a bag, in case another owner wants to restuff them at a later time.
Myself, I like to see the underside of a recapped radio that looks original.As I say, it's a personal thing. BTW, I do make a note to keep with the chassis that the caps are restuffed. Just so someone doesn't come in and this it hasn't been recapped.
Take care and good luck with the recap.
