Plus side goes the plus side of the 47uf cap. Minus side goes the #77 the 1 megohm resistor. Find #77 on the pictorial next to the schematic, as you find it in your chassis it will have a brown band, next a black band and a green band. One side of this resistor is connected to another resistor #76 a 100k ohm resistor and it has a brown, black, yellow bands. This is NOT where 15uf connects but to the other side of the one meg ohm resistor #77 This side has a lead connecting it to the power transformer (yellow/green wire). Also there is a wire going to the spkr field coil connected there too.

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!
