Well I succumbed to the calling of the 16B chassis and it's a head scratcher. It looks like in the library the schematic matches pretty much but the under chassis pictorial is for a later version w/the tone control update. Riders has the later schematic with the later pictorial so think it all matches but doesn't match the early chassis. To make it even more confusing the parts list doesn't give any cap values just the Philco part#. Then you have to enlist the Libary's Bakelite block list to find the proper value. A lot of triangulation to get it sorted.
Have gotten abt 70% of the blocks done and measured some of the resistor and it's not looking good most seem to be more than 20% out. I'll be busy replacing those.
I may make a color pictorial of the bottom of this set with cap, resistor values, and what they do to make them easy to find on the schematic. Maybe put it the downloadable files so others can make use of it.

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.
