Combatting Cabin Fever with a Soldering Gun

Finished the chassis rewiring. But I'm left with two concerns before I proceed.

First, I'm over-thinking the instructions for one of the mid-model changes, and now I'm seeing two possible meanings.

"Beginning with run No. 3 resistor (16)…(51,000 ohms) was removed and a resistor…(32,000 ohms) was connected from the oscillator grid of the 6A7 to the suppressor grid of the 78 RF amplifier."

The question is, when I remove resistor (16) do I break the connection or do I leave the connection intact with just the resistance removed?



Next, I can't figure out what the connection (tap on the output transformer, yellow circle) represents. I have a four-pin speaker plug--two for the output transformer and two for the field coil (red circles). So, how does the fifth connection to the output transformer occur?



Thanks for looking. If I can get those issues resolved, then I can move forward with the restoration.
