It's funny, I seldom check the resistor values. I will now!
As a side note, I never "shot-gun" an old radio or TV. I trouble-shoot the set first, then I replace the aging components.  |
This receiver refuses to stay repaired!
I got the BFO working, when others couldn't. Putting the coil back in place, I pulled the terminal end loose and broke one of the thin wires going to the winding. The wires are like hair and I can't see were it's broken, even under a magnifying glass.
This think must've had a history of problems. When I got it at a swapmeet, the top and bottom covers were missing. The receiver is in unusually nice condition. No rust and the silk screening is perfect.
