Kenwood A901 Speed control?

I took charge of a Kenwood Chef A901 but the previous owner had removed the small components from the speed control board as they were blown and could not get any replacements. Has any one any idea of the connections for the two capacitors and the 56 ohm resistors. Also the reset switch seems faulty as it only has power on both sides while it is held in.Should it be a normally closed switch Can this be bypassed by shorting out terminals. Any help on the component layout would be appreciated.

I have a faulty A901 that we have had for 30yrs ish. It made a pop noise today and I have found the 56ohm resistor and a capacitor damaged. I guess more is gone on ours ie brushes and triac. But for you I guess you need the layout which I have in front of me. Best if I could snap a digital photo and send it on to you if you are still interested
