Okay folks so I’m rebuilding all of the Bakelite caps in the 60. Got them all done, but now I’m working on the metal can known as the “condenser bank”. I originally was going to put the new caps inside the metal can and solder all of the negative leads to the can, just like originally. But I’m finding that it will be cleaner and more open if I simply leave the can out. So now I need a ground point to solder the negative leads to…. Can I solder them to the ground bolt on capacitor 8? It’s the Bakelite cap that contains the .18uf.
I appreciate all of the help from this website by the way! You all are amazing! Once I get more experience under my belt, I can start chiming in on some of the other posts on here.
