I have encountered a mystery while restoring my 37-61. On the schematics, and in the parts location diagram, the bakelite block that contains the two 0.15 mfd condensers is not in the position shown in the diagram, but rather is right near where the power cord enters the chassis. Where the diagram shows that one as being originally, there is a narrower bakelite block. I have been trying to figure out if this block actually has any condesners in it, or is it just being used as a tie point and terminal strip ? Has anyone else encountered this ? attached is a picture of that part of my chassis. The block with the two .015s is at the bottom, the one in question is near the top, by the on/off and tone switch.

any help will be appreciated. By the way, I rebuilt the one with the two .015s already.
