Predicta Holiday - First power up attempt

[madlabs]

Dave, maybe I am mis-speaking. I mean the main PCB, which does have paper caps. I don't have any tv diagnostics experience at all. That is why I was trying to see what it would do as is, to get a baseline. Considering the PITA to get that PCB off though, shot-gunning might be called for.

Doing some more poking around I see the multi-tap sand resistor is waaaay off. The 8 ohm section reads 30. The 13 ohm section reads 62 and the 17 ohm section is reading 93! Furthermore, I have discovered that R76, the 400 cold, 11 ohm hot, has been replaced with a 10 ohm resistor. Yikes! What is the best modern replacement for that?

Thanks!

Jonathan

EDIT: Tom, thanks but I have the Sam's. It doesn't have the same PCB diagram that Phil had for his set from the Philco manual.
