Hey All,
I'm working on this 38-116 that is a real nightmare from the word go. When I bought this thing it was about 400 miles away so I asked the guy if had any experience with packing and shipping. He said he just shipped a radio last week, so I assumed he was experienced. Well you know what ASSUME is all about and the radio showed up with 1 wrapping of cardboard around it and upside down with the chassis hanging out of the cardboard. The chassis was bent and 4 of the 5 shafts were broken off. So my challenge started and I have most of the damage corrected. I'm working on reattaching the shafts to their appropriate origins while also recapping and resister checking. While recapping and checking the schematic I noticed my chassis does not have cap #122 which is supposed to be in parallel with choke #119 and attached to 2 of the Ecaps on either side of it. My chassis has this item missing. I've checked all the change to the circuits info I could find but nothing mentions this cap.
My questions are:
Is this cap needed?
If so, what does it do?
If I add it can I just put across the chokes 2 lugs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you ahead of time
