I was looking over the bottom of the radio chassis and I found a cap who's connection doesn't jive with the schematic. I've looked over the pictures I had before I started recapping and as far as I can tell I have put the new cap in the same place as the old one was. Perhaps some one else serviced the unit and put their cap in the wrong place before me? Perhaps I'm miss reading my pictures and put it in the wrong place myself? Any how the cap is C7 and it is in the picture of the schematic below. It is shown between pin one and pin two. From my extremely extremely limited experience thus far I have always replaced electrolytic capacitors with the negative side to ground. This schematic doesn't show that though. Of course I trust a schematic over my own knowledge but I just wanted to ask here to make sure that it is right.
I also want to confirm that pin numbering on tubes always run clockwise. In the picture below pin one starts at 12 o'clock and goes clockwise from there. Is that correct?
