Philco 90 BC resistor question
#2

I don't know if that's necessary If the chassis is working properly the heating issue shouldn't be a problem. I had a problem with a model 20 where the heavy thread wound around the BC resistor had burned up/ flaked off. I would suspect that it is more of a protective coating so it won't be shorted out by coming in contact by other parts. You could probably rewind the thread over the resistor.
I'd say that your looking at a resistor that is 20-50wts.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
