Spent a good part of yesterday melting tar (rebuilding bakelite caps) and measuring resistors. Didn't find many that where within the 20% tolerance. A couple of the paper tubular caps rather than restuffing them they got a layer of Scotch #33. Don't really like the yellow look. For #93 & 94 (plate bypass for the 42 output tubes, .006 @ 1000v) used a couple of .01's in series = .005 @ 1260v. Those I slipped the old cardboard tube over. Have two or three more bakelites to do over in the detector/avc circuit.
Was thinking about the shadowmeter, I have a spool of 44ga wire and was thinking that might be easier to get up to the proper resistance. Not sure if that is the goal or it's the more turns the more magnetism? Also not sure how much current I can pass though #44 wire I'm thinking that 10-15ma would be good. Of course this may be academic cause #44 maybe too difficult the wind.
O btw the cap order came in yesterday.
