So my posts on this radio have been split, recombined, moved, closed... I'll figure out the correct logic for posting yet! Maybe right after I figure out the true meaning of life, and my 655 schematic... ;-)
In another place, I asked about a mystery resistor across the shadow meter leads... it's not on the schematic or parts finder. The schematic seems to show 300 ohm across the meter coil, but no mention of this resistor. And other models seem to show various values when they do show this shunt resistor,
I asked about the resistor's color code... I finally found the explanation here at Shop Talk, so all is good, and I also found a bit of a hidden stripe on this resistor- it's not green with red dot, it's green body-black stripe-red dot, making it a 5k.
For the discussion at Shop Talk- I'd add a clarification for the slow-witted (like me): If there is no stripe, then the stripe = body color!
Solid white with orange dot is then Wt-Wt-Or, or 99,000 ohm.
