Another 16B tone control question...
#7

So Ron, is it possible that mine was a late run 3rd design with the three .003mfd caps in the tone control can and was put in prior to elimination of the .006 tubular cap? So should I just install the 3 caps in the tone control can and leave the .006 out altogther? Would putting it back in since I already have it going to hurt anything? Here is a link to what I have been reading:

http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/139/M0013139.htm

On page 5-15 at the top it talks about the different tone controls... It says that the run #15 switches to the tio of .003's and adding of the .006 for smoother change of tone... Then in run 16 it talks about changing tone controls and eliminating the .006... Is this when they went to just the trio of .003's straight to the #77 plate? I guess my question is should I just go with three .003's with no .006 or will it affect anything to install the .006 like what appeared to be original and was in there already?
