Hi Marsupial,
The block where you soldered your line cord is a bakellte block. Inside should be the two line capacitors, as shown in the schematic.(C100 and C101) I can't see the rest of your chassis, but there may be other blocks that look similar. Sometimes, there is only one cap inside, sometimes two. Occasionally there is a resistance element inside too.

This block is easy to figure out, and one side of both of the .01 line caps goes to ground. The other lead of each cap goes to one side of the AC line you soldered in. (See diagram.)


Here are two pages you can look at to see what it's all about.

Some people remove the block, and add in a terminal strip, seperate caps and then have to connect any other wires that were on the terminals. IMHO, that is creating more work than it is worth. Plus you lose the originality of the chassis. rebuilding the blocks is easy, once you have done one or two.
Good luck!

PS:
Here is how easily most of the tar insides come out. When you have heated it just enough so it breaks free of it's casing, it can be pushed out with a piece of stiff wire through one of the rivet holes.

I did a little image search and found many people with a huge mess of chipping, and digging out the tar. Sometimes I see them melt the tar out. It get stinky, and is not necessary.
I can usually rebuild a block, still wired in in, way less than 5 minutes.
