Philco 16B restoration
#37

MrFixr55

Thanks for your help. I have a couple of questions that will hopefully help me understand how things work. 

The two resistors, a 70K and a 56K, both start at a common lug on the terminal strip but then go to different terminals on the Bakelite block. I think these are the two that you were referring too as in parallel. Does it make a difference that they both don’t end at a common terminal. 

When I checked on the Philco site about block #22.  3615-BL was discontinued and replaced with 3615-OSG which has one .05 cap going to wiring lugs 1-3.  I still don’t know if it makes a difference that my block is connected 2-3. As far as the middle tab on that block I’m enclosing a better pic that shows nothing is connected to it.  What makes it more confusing is that it appears that something at one time was connected there. 

I am learning a lot just on this radio alone     and please don’t take offence to my questions.
