Philco 38-8 Speaker issue
#4

Hello again RodB.

I put the negative end of the 25uf to the original negative point that is on the cardboard insulation.
I had some help with it a while back when I was just getting into radios and Jack Saunders was helping me out a bit and he told me to put the negative end there.
The positive end is on the old terminal that was coming out from the bottom (positive) of the original can cap. The 10k resistor and one of the speaker wires is connected to that terminal as well and another wire. I re-soldered all of the connections on that terminal where everything is connected just in case when I was doing it a while back I didn't make it a cold solder joint but that wasn't the issue.
