Philco 41-608 Clarify neg lead on cap #21A
#1

Hi,

Ron, referring to my first post and the reply you gave to help me out with several questions, I still need clarification on cap 21A & 21B.
My schematic shows the negative lead of 21A is connected to the junction on the resistor bar (#77) where the values of 26 ohm and 28 ohm meet.
The other end of the 26 ohm is connected to chassis ground. So it seems it is slightly above ground. Not being picky... just to be sure what you meant.

Anyway you were saying that this negative lead on 21A is tied directly to ground.

"But the negative lead of electrolytic 21A DOES connect to ground. "

Also on my schematic, as you said, the negative lead of 21B connects to
B- ..... which shows as the junction, again on resistor bar #77, between
(looks like) the 268 ohm value and the 780 ohm value. Wondering if you
would comment on this. I note that the capacitor that is in there now (not the original) has the single negative lead tied directy to a terminal strip ground leg (riveted to chassis). This makes the result somewhat different than the orginal design.

Thanks for all your time, Ron .... or anyone else having taken the time to wade thru my muddle of words, ha.

Best regards to all Icon_smile
