Congrats on your first restore! In looking at the schematic, I believe that the capacitor that is isolated from the chassis is #56, not #41. On that second lug it looks like the negative of capacitor #56 ultimately connects to the center tap of the transformer (noted as '4'). The insulator at the base of the existing capacitor isolates the case from the chassis The other two are shown having their negative terminals connecting to the chassis.

Is there a reference somewhere where you can punch in Philco part numbers and see what models those parts were used in?Jim Dutridge — 10:17 AM

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
