You'd have to check the service manual for that. I can't see any of the
images, because Yahoo!'s files area is borked at the moment. It sounds
like the "durrr it no work must recapping it" brigade has been at it, in
which case you're in for a fun time.
Q1 is part of the first voltage regulator, and takes the incoming supply
down to around 9V - the unregulated "9V" supply puts out something
closer to 12V. I wouldn't worry ∗too∗ much about that for now.
Work out what the LED is for. Bear in mind that it may be used for its
forward voltage, as some sort of replacement for a Zener. LEDs are
pretty quiet so they're sometimes used in audio switching circuits as a
switching element; maybe someone has tried to do something bizarre along
those lines.
