Working on a Model 16 chassis, with reference to a bakelite block 3615 AD and I'm wondering if there are any references (multiple) to the break down of what's inside of this and where it goes? From what I understand the block contains only two .05 caps.

The main reason why I'm asking about this is I've run into a problem maybe due to an oversight, or error. I restuffed this block with 2 .05's (.047's) and the results have lessoned the sound from bright and clear, to basey and not as loud. I'm wondering if this would just mean to go on recapping to eliminate the problem.

Location is wired into the tone control. I hope I'm not confusing you folks with my issues with this set. I sure appreciate any input and help.


Thanks,

Gary
