[Hallicrafters] Halp

[Lloyd Godsey]

Been messing with this junk for most 60 years and finally came onto one that’s 
got me up a stump.
Case in point: Hallicrafters 8R40, the one with the selenium rectumfriers.
Somebody was there afore me. I am just cleaning up the mess.
Replaced the selenium's with silicone, added a 200 ohm series resistor to 
bring voltages down
to livable levels. Got the speaker wiring straightened out. Get some squeals 
now.
What throws me, there is a wire shown on the schematic going from the 
control
grid of the 6F6 to the lower side of the utput transformer.
Wire is also in the radio.
What is it's function? Looks like trouble to me.
Took one end loose, still squeals.
It's beer:30 so will worry about it later.

Thanx
