crosley model 148 cap question
#1

Have a Crosley model 148 that I am re-capping.
Has a few of those double capacitors, which I have never run into before.
I started re-capping and everything was going well. Radio played after E-caps changed.
There is a double cap attached to tube pin 2 of the 57 tube and I think the other end is supposed to go to a pin on the 42 tube, ( broken off now).
There is markings of .03 mfd x .001(hard to read) x 400v.
The center strap is grounded to the chassis which I think should ground both the caps.
I can't decipher the schematic on this one. No tube pins shown, just symbols on the schematic.
Can anyone look at the schematic for this radio and tell me which cap goes to which tube pin number, as well as are they both grounded to chassis?
I was in a hurry to finish this up and got a little careless with ripping that last double one out.
There are a few more of these double caps which I ran one end of each cap to chassis ground and they worked great.
Someone said that sometimes they may wire them differently than the others that I did.
Kind a mess in that corner where this last one was mounted, which made it difficult to get out.
Radio is not playing after removing this last double cap and replacing with what I thought was the correct caps.
There is some audio, but no signals picked up.
Anyone have any experience with this model?
A wiring diagram would sure help.
