I'm nearly finished re-capping an re-resistoring when I see that the factory wiring of the 35Z5GT doesn't conform to the schematic. Filament pins 2 and 3 are wired in reverse. I'm presuming that this shouldn't make any difference, but it is so weird that the factory wired it this way. The chassis is untouched, all original Philco caps and shaggy carbon resistors. Even the tubes are the originals. Any thoughts? Thanks, Joe
