Yup your correct!! The resistor is in series w/the HV going to the rf amp tubes and the cap connected to one end of the resistor and to the chassis. The simple way the replace the cap is to cut the ground wire off of the original cap and solder the new cap from the end terminal to the ground terminal. On my model 87 all three of those caps were close to being a dead short so there was very little HV in the set. The resistance value isn't very critical as long as there not open.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
