Don't see any diagram so it may not have posted. Your plan of restoration seems reasonable.
Are you planning on restuffing the original electrolytic cans? If so, it might be a good idea to use metallized polypropylene 630V film caps for the two 8 uF caps connected to the rectifier filament. These caps are subjected to very high ripple current, and modern miniature electrolytic 8 uF caps are not designed for such service. The film caps are available here:

There is a posting on this site on how to rebuild the hardened rubber coupler for the tuning cap. They are usually hard as a rock, which makes the tuning stiff.
