Restoring a Model 89-123 I think

Hello everyone. I have a Model 89-123. It says this on the rear of the chassis. So, I went to Nostaliair on got a copy of the specs. I have now replaced all paper caps with new ones acorrding to the specs. Now I find out that this radio uses a 36 tube instead of a 77 that is on the print. Looking more closely I think this is a model 89B. Is there any changes in capacitors (cap blocks) or resistors that have to be changed from the 77 tube to the 36. This radio has 4 knobs as I understand there was a change when they added short wave and put the on off switch to the the same. The specs I have looked at are very hard to read, or very confusing. What I need is a cross reference from the new version to the old. Hope someone can help! Thanks
