Philco 39-7 resto
#19

The polarization doesn't matter on the set as it use a power transformer. This isolate the AC line from the chassis. Don't connect one of the AC leads to the chassis! It doesn't go there, it goes back to the other black lead from the transformer. One of the black leads goes to the switch and the other goes to the AC line.
If your set was an AC/DC set you are correct to connect the neutral to the chassis but it isn't.

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!
