silvertone 8005 positive end for 30mfd

Holiday greetings and good health to all!
I am recapping the Sears 8005. On the positve end of the 30MFD there were two wires. One was leading to the choke. The other broke off as I was soldering. I do not know for sure what tube prong the wire broke off from.
I am trying to learn from the schematic but I am not certain if the second wire was soldered onto tube 12SA7 or the 35Z5GT. If the second wire broke off from one of those tubes, which pin?
Thank you in advance,

Hi Greg

You should find two colored wires and one black on your original cap. This electrolytic has two caps in one unit.

Negative ends up on pin #3 of your 12SQ7. It may not have originally tied directly to this pin but you can use this point. Wires connect from this location to other tubes.

Positive of your 30 mfd cap can connect to pin #4 on the 50L6. Like the negative, wire will connect this pin to other tubes.

The other section positive connects to a 22 ohm resistor leading from pin #8 on your 35Z5 tube.
