[NJARC] Philco Model 60 - restoration help ideas???

I'm currently working on a Philco Model 60 of the September 1934 production run.  Thanks to Ron Ramirez's site, I was able to determine that.  There's wealth of information out there on the early Philco's and, in particular, the Model 60.  

	My dilemma is that at some time in the past, someone had the bright idea to replace some of the capacitors and do some rewiring.  They thought they were being slick using Orange Dips and bridging the modules.  All that effort and it still didn't work.  No wonder, they didn't take all of the modules out of the circuit that were bridged you can guess the rest.  I'm getting an idea of what was done, but I'd like to have a better idea of where things are supposed to go.  I am rebuilding the capacitor modules and the metal box with the 4 capacitor package inside.  The 4 cap metal box module had it's wires chopped off.
Also, rather than unsolder what was connected to the tabs of the bakelite cap modules, they were cut off.  There was enough left so that I can make a clean contact when I reinstall them.  

	It helps to have things where they're supposed to be under the chassis so it operates better. Wiring in the right place, etc...   I have the tube pins identified, but where I'm stuck, is how to identify the connections for the IF coils.  The coils have not been removed and it doesn't look like they ever were.  I'm just not sure they weren't tampered with.

	I took pictures of the underchassis before I started to work on it.  Does anyone have any pictures showing an original and restored underchassis of a Philco Model 60?  What they buggerd up were the
connections to the 6A7.  If I could get some detail for that, I can figure out the rest.  Pin 3 seems to be the bigger issue.  Where do the 2 resistors coming off of Pin 3 go?  

	


Thank you for any help you can give.
