This is not so much a Fisher related question but does apply since I've been working on restoring and modding my 500-C and I have great respect for the electronics knowledge that several people have who participate in this forum.
When reading a schematic and I see a component that is connected to other components via a dot and several lines proceeding away from that dot, if those lines lead to other components indirectly, such as through lines that lead to other components, can the original component be connected via any of those connected circuits as long as a circuit eventually leads to another component connected via those lines and dots? Or does that original component have to be directly connected to whichever component, and it can be several, is the closest to it?
For example, I have a schematic (attached, a simpler schematic just to make it easier to answer my question and is a radio on which I'm working to restore) and if you look at R6, it's closest connections are B+ (which comes from the + side of C11b), C15 and C9. Does it matter to which of those closest components I connect R6? If it matters, how does one decide to which component to attach R6? Or could I connect R6 to say pin 5 of tube 50L6GT since C9 is also connected to that pin?
Thanks for answering what probably is a novice question for several of you. I've tried looking online for a schematics course, but I've found nothing that answers this specific question. Thorne
