Rookie with Philco 38-C4 issues
#2

        Hello Hamilton,
Welcome aboard and glad to see you here First off, I don't know what tools you have and your knowledge but working on this set if you don't have one you will need a multimeter to test voltages and resistance!

Before you get installing new parts in this set, we teach you about polarity and Schematic drawing symbols.
    because we don't want you to destroy your new capacitors or other parts.
Here if you look down below, I posted a couple photos
Then off we go
See where you had drawn that yellow circle that piece which is mounted to the metal chassis is what is called a bias  resistor it is basically a big resistor with different taps so if you look on the schematic it is 62,63.
Where the yellow circle is that is where the Negative lead of 64 the 10 ufd capacitor hooks and then the positive side is connected to the metal chassis make sure that 66,64A other two capacitors get mounted with their negative lead mounted to the chassis as you will noticed  64 is mounted differently and if it gets mounted wrong you will see some fireworks and loud bang !

Sincerely Richard
P.S. I hope this gets you started !
