Hi Jefftrex,
Good luck on the restoration of your 39-116. I finished one a couple of years ago. I consulted my notes and I believe that that yellow wire you questioned is the feed for the station lights when the set is set for remote operation. it looks to be connected to position 1 on the "A" wafer on the band switch. When the band switch is in the "remote" position, "A1" connects to "A3" which supplies 6V power through resistor # 82 (10 ohms) for the station bulb lights. On the schematic, it is located on the lower right, just above the MOTOR part # 80.
Hope this helps.
