I'm having some difficulty deciphering the "condenser box" on top of the chassis and am wondering if I have another pair of eyes verify the polarity of the 3 e-caps and their connection points?
The schematic is a bit hard to read but it appears there are just three 8 mfd caps, #46, 47 and 48. Do all of the negatives go to chassis ground? The label on the box reads:
Pos 8 mfd....Green
Neg 8 mfd....white
and then
Pos 8-8 ... Red
Com Neg... black
The white wire was connected to chassis ground, but all the other wires coming out of the box were cut and so I have no idea where the black wire was supposed to be connected. Someone apparently started to recap it and gave up.
With 5 wires coming out of the box and only 3 capacitors, that tells me two are joined together somehow but I'm not seeing it on the schematic.
Supposedly there is an early and late version of this schematic and I have only found the late version. This one seems to be correct, however the 75 tube and the 6D6 tube behind it are reversed in the actual chassis from what the chassis layout shows on the schematic.
