Yes,the riders volumes have a few mistakes like that.
Also the Brunswick 3NW8 uses the AP777 (Not AP777-C) which has the output scratch filter but not the slightly different wiring of the Victor sets. You may or may not notice the performance difference between the two.
Either way properly restored the performance is outstanding.
I never use electrolytics in rebuilding these sets. I restuff the "Can" with 1500volt 4 and 2 mfd "oil" filled (or whatever is in there) units. I find going up in capacity gains you little and taxes the rectifier system.

Thank you for that information. I think it will work out somehow. Already found a speaker that is compatible. Good advice on the low value filter caps. I'll try that. Cheers, Russie
