I am working on a Philco 52b and it uses Bakelite block 3903 N. I have looked at the reference page on the Wayback machine and it shows its as having lugs 3,5, and 8. So far so good mine does too. Then is shows the .01 ufd condenser is connected to lugs 5 & 8. Close examination of mine before unstuffing reveals wires coming out of the inside and attaching to all 3 lugs.
Does anybody have a copy of Ray Bintliff's book to help identify what is the correct configeration?
Thanks,
PS. I am definitely going to buy a copy of his book if I can find one.
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

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.

Now I think I've got!
There's also clues if you look at under the chassis layout vs the schematic.

You're right. It looks like lug 3 should just be a support but the work by a previous technician has made a mess of this area. I think I remove the insides more carefully than usual in hope of being able figure it out.

Much appreciated, radiohenry. This gives me a much greater confidence in the correct confiuration. I have ordered my copy of this valuable reference. I don't know what has taken me so long.
Thanks again,
Dwayne
