The model 44 (and it's successor, the 144) are, in my opinion, two of the better receiving six-tube sets out there. Your 44 is worth the effort you are putting into it.

ALSO: one of your electrolytics has a cardboard sheath on it. (#67). It is the one that has two 8mFd caps in it. The negative sides do NOT go to chassis ground.

Your other one (#69) is the 6mFd, the negtive side does go to chassis ground.

Don't rely on what a former "technician" did to your set, as too often they are ...."misguided."

There are several smaller value caps in your set that are connected to B+ in various manners. It is never a bad idea to replace them. Remember, they are 70-plus years old. If you intend to play the set as it was intended to be, strongly recommend that you replace them.
