I made a bit of progress, today. As mentioned in my last post, both single filter sections, 2 x .003 bypass (6F6) and the line filter bakelite block are in place. Other "things" were done too.
A 4K 2W power resistor drifted way high, so it got replaced. With no exact replacement available, I did find a new 4.5K 10W, and it measured 4.3K. I should have painted it. 8) Honestly, it looks a heck of a lot better than a new 2 watt would there, and I didn't have to wait for the part.
Another block was removed, part 127. It's a dual .15 uF, across the filter choke. This baby got warm, in the past. The wax was bulging from the bottom. The bottom of the chassis was caked with wax too. No big deal, the filter choke isn't damaged, DC resistance almost measured dead nuts, based on drawing.
: I want to use the fusible line cord plug. Only one fuse remains, and it's rated at 3A. The radio consumes 155 watts. I was guessing a 2A slow blow should do. Am I correct, with that guess?
: What is the purpose of that dual .15 uF bakelite block across the filter choke?
Thanks for your thoughts, Gents!
