Arran - I meant maybe Electrohome was making sets as cheaply as possible? It sounds like I was wrong in that regard. But I am admittedly not familiar with Electrohome.
That sounds too much like work!
Anyway, by the time the 39-770 was made, Philco had pretty much stopped using dogbones in favor of the more modern looking resistors, in more familiar looking tubular cases. Only they had not yet adopted the modern color coding scheme; they were still using the body-end-stripe method, which was a variant of the older body-tip-dot scheme.
I suppose I might consider something like that if I were working on, say, an AK 55 or 60. But not this 39-770.
