Model 70 air cap ground strap.
#4

I would suspect that the strap should be fitted between the stator plate (where all of the plates are jointed and the two screws hold it the frame thru the insulator). The other end the strap is fitted under the solder lug which it held by the mounting screw. This provides a good low impedance connection to the cap, coil and grid.
If you haven't rewound the osc coil your wasting your time trying to make it work properly. It needs to have the right ratio between capacitance and inductance. I would break out the 38G wire and rewind. If you don't know how many turns use the holes in the form as a rough guide.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
