Hi Bridkarl,
Remember that the numbers on my diagram do not coincide with the numbers that you assigned to the terminal strip. Point 4 at my diagram is chassis ground and 1 end of the Candohm. Point 2 is the other end of the Candohm, and ties to the center tap of the B+ supply transformer. The - terminal of the 12uF cap (#62) ties to this point. However, this is not chassis ground. The 12uF cap is separate from the 8/16 Ohm dual cap. Point 2 on my diagram is the most negative point of the supply and is more negative than chassis ground. This is a style for developing grid bias that went out of style in the postwar years. If you are familiar with radios from the late 40s and 50s, this usually throws a curve. There is about an 18-20volt drop across the 2 ends of the Candohm
Cap # 27 and 27A is the 8 / 16 uF cap. The 16uF cap + terminal goes to point 3 on my diagram. The 8uf cap + terminal goes to the junction between Resistors #26 and 28. You can either ground the - lead of the 8uF cap at any convenient ground point on the chassis or ground at the grounded end of the Candohm (point 4 on my diagram) along with the - terminal of the 16uF cap.
Hope that helps.
