Well, I just looked at the 4 wires under the existing output transformer and they are ;

Black - goes to pin 2 of a 41 tube

Tan - goes to pin 2 of the other 41 tube

Black/Tan striped - goes to a terminal strip lug that splits off to pin 2 of the 7C6 tube and pin 3 of one of the 41 tubes and it also connects to one of the filter caps.

Bare wire - goes directly to the speaker.

I'm wondering if I wouldn't use the red wire for this radio ?
