[Drake] putting TR3 back together

Before being diagnosed with cancer three years ago, I had begun replacing the three section capacitor (paper covered can capacitor) and had not reattached the four leads ti the three sections. There were two white/blue leads and two white/orange leads attached to the cap and they are still not reattached. I cannot find the manual or schematic, so I need some assistance.
If anyone has a TR3 that they can turn over and view the bottom and the subject capacitor, I would appreciate it if you would take a look and describe the leads and to which tabs the white/blue and white/orange wires are attached to.  Time has passed (3 yrs)  and the cancer on my brain and lungs did not help my memory.
I have a number of Drakes but only one TR3 so I do not have another to compare the wiring to. I think the TR3 will be fine once I have those leads properly attached,
Your assistance will be appreciated.Thanks and 73, John, K5PGW
