I am working on a Philco 52b and it uses Bakelite block 3903 N.  I have looked at the reference page on the Wayback machine and it shows its as having lugs 3,5, and 8.  So far so good mine does too.  Then is shows the .01 ufd condenser is connected to lugs 5 & 8.  Close examination of mine before unstuffing reveals wires coming out of the inside and attaching to all 3 lugs.  

   Does anybody have a copy of Ray Bintliff's book to help identify what is the correct configeration?

Thanks,

PS. I am definitely going to buy a copy of his book if I can find one.











It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
