Model 610 newbie question
#1

    I hope you don’t mind my lack of knowledge. I have just taken up this hobby but with Covid there are no vintage radio meetings in my area for me to join and learn how to diagnose and repair vintage radios.
My Model 610 has three electrolytic caps but the one marked #41 unlike the #56 and #54 on the schematic is not grounded to chassis. I know from reading the Rider changes note, that these caps were mislabelled on the schematic and that’s not the issue. I know #41 is really #56.
I don’t know how to wire this insulated electrolytic cap properly.
Everything I read says to insure that you replace the fibre insulation ring on these aluminum caps when replacing but I will be cutting the red and black coming from this cap and reinstalling the new cap under the chassis. Where and how do I ground it?
I realize this is simple question for all of the Phorum readers but I don’t want to mess it up and would appreciate any assistance.
