Default Heathkit AA-32 capacitor Question

I have a heathkit AA-32 that I am recapping and I discovered that one one of
the capacitirs was only connected on one side, The cap in question is a .1 Cap
connected to pin3 on tube V4 6GW8. I need to know what pin the other end goes
to. I do not have a schematic and I would appreciate someone with one to help
me out.
Thanks in Advance,
Mario

I have a schematic for the AA-32. It's not very clear, but is readable. I can email it to you if you like.
Cheers, Paul

Pin 3 of the 6GW8 is the screen connexion to the pentode. The 0.1 microfarad cap opposite end can be connected to either the ground rail (zero volts, some call B- in error) or the cathode of the pentode. Where depends on the negative feedback connexion. But will work OK either way.

Cheers, John
