Another question about a 39-6 Philco
#6

On some sets the rotor is grounded and not stator. Like 70 or 90.
But you can only bolt the stator to the chassis. So if rotor is grounded the stator is grommeted.
This is as I understand used to counter the fact that if the stator is grounded by not using grommets, then when you tune you create extra capacitance between the rotor and the chassis through the body so tuning become less precise. If the rotor (shaft) is grounded then you can touch the shaft and no tuning problem will occur.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
