More on this.     The original wiring was undisturbed.   All the tubes are correct.   The octal socket is the original riveted to the chassis.   Pins 5 and 6 of one of the 41 output tubes can be seen in the previous photo.    This had to have worked out of the factory but I am at a loss as to why a secondary plate wire would be wired this way to the rectifier plate on pin 5 and thus to the grounds of the audio output tubes.   Hopefully someone here has seen this done before. I have not.    Photo is of chassis before much was done to it.  I have already replaced much of the wiring, many caps and resistors, the negative voltage divider and removed to audio output transformer.  At this point I am going to put in rectifier diodes and wire the 41's to ground as the schematic shows.


Thanks in advance.
