Identify this radio please.
#21

I was away for a bit and back working on the radio and have a couple on issues.

I took the backplate off the output transformer, part #68, and noticed there is a green wire that may have possibly been connected at one time to the top right lug in the photo. It appears something was connected there at some point. Should that wire be connected there? It is supposed to be Philco #32-7078 but my transformer is marked 32-7079. Not sure if that makes a difference.

The other item was the electrolytic, part #71. 1, 2 and 3 mfd cap. Is the can itself the - connection? There is no cardboard insulator on the existing can. Can I put the - connections anywhere on the chassis? 

I still haven’t received any response regarding part #71A on the schematic, an 8 mfd cap that is not on my radio. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
