Hi Nicole and welcome to the Phourm!!!
- lead should be attached to the chassis and the + lead should connect in place of the can terminal under the chassis. DO NOT connect the new capacitor to the terminal of the old capacitor.

Not necessarily so. Depends on which filter cap. If you look at the diagram http://www.nostalgiaair.org/PagesByModel...013301.pdf you'll see that the negative side of #25 does, but #26 DOESN'T. It goes back to the center tap on the HV winding of the power transformer. If you connect #26 to the chassis it will hum alot. There won't be any filtering for the grid bias on the 41 tube.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
