There is a Wurlitzer 565 in perfect condition onE bay with an owners manual. If you contact the owner perhaps they can give you some contact info inside the manual on where to get a duplicate. or for a fee perhaps they can make you a copy. If not The Wurlitzer Co. was originally from North Tonawanda, NY. I Lived there for years. It is now a museum. "The Wurlitzer Factory." If you google it you can contact them and they may be able to help you. good luck in your search.
The only advice I can give you is to join an organ forum and post asking for a manual. Otherwise you will have to pay for one. The best source I can seem to find is through:http://mitatechs.org/node/385 or here:http://wdgreenhill.com/manu/wurlitzer_a.htm and they don't list a service manual for that model. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
If you have it apart, look in the area of where the power cord goes in. It would help me if you could mention the model number of the organ.The capacitors are in the same area as a fuse would be. The capacitors smooth and filter the A.C. power after the power goes into the power transformer and is then converted to D.C. to run the components. A fuse could be in the A.C. line or in the D.C. line depending on what it is designed to protect. With a model number we could do a search for a schematic and have a look at the most likely problem spots. The schematics for older analog organs are getting hard to find for free but a newer digital one may be easier. Let me know how you make out. Here is an interesting article that may give you some clues:http://www.theatreorgans.com/hammond/keng/kenhtml/wurlitzer%20organs%20by%20frank%20pugno.htm Here is another link with info:http://www.combo-organ.com/spares_and_repairs.htm#Electrolytics Let me know if this helps.

Try voice 9 in the bank 96. That is for a theater organ type sound. You would need decent sound system to amplify this and to sound anywhere near decent.
