Agreed on the cap wiring. I probably might have wired the 10 in backwards had you not said that. I have just looked and the 10uf cap that seems to be replaced by an 8uf dry cap, the + looks like its tied to chassis ground. Side of cap says besco made in usa. The other end of it is soldered to a really long crimped resistor with 4 lugs on it secured to the side of chassis. Im not really sure this cap is supposed to be there yet. I have a photo of underside but forgot where to load the picture. I just checked polarity on it. Positive side is tied to chassis. There is about 68 volts on it. Going to replace it with a 10uf.
Just looked at schematic, it does seem to be said 10uf cap, minus 2 micro farads

I started collecting radios when I was a kid.......never kept any of them. Always messed them up(didnt know what I was doing) Sucessfully bought my first radio and got it working in 1995in california, and carried it home on a 3 day train ride. It was a philco 38 code 123 battery operated farm set.
