16B Cathedral Braided Ground Help
#5

Hi Rod and Welcome,
I too used a Weller D-550 to resolder the braid to the tuning cap's mounting screws. It's very important that they are connected, without them the cap is floating (no gnd connection). You may want to add a wire to the third screw and connect it to the gnd lug that is riveted lug near it.
It's not a horrible idea the remove the tuning condenser and give it a goood clean mine was filthy! Was having a problem w/ bands 4 and 5 not working @ the bottom end. Have it mostly sorted now.
You may glean some useful information from this thread, both set use the same chassis just the tombstone has a 10" speaker. https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=20055

When my pals were reading comic books
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.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
