I've already installed a non polar 4.7 UF I had while the chassis was on the bench. I'm going to test it out before stuffing the existing metal condenser as I may want to use a 10 UF. I have the 4 wires for each tweeter figured out, which was confusing at first with the two field coil wires as mine have all faded to a similar color. They are wired out of phase (blue/white wires) so when I get it fired up I'll have to try a wire swap.
Right now I'm spending time testing and collecting good tubes for when I test it out. With 20 tubes even that takes time! Tomorrow I can get back to the cap restuffing.
BTW Camman you did a great job on your 38-690 chassis you posted a short while back Icon_biggrin
