Thought I'd do do some more testing while I was rechecking the resistors. I tested all the rf chokes they all tested within 1 to 2 ohms of whats called for.
But I might have a problem with the flat center tapped resistor. This sits just under the #45 tubes.
It says on schem. 60 ohms total. My readings are: from lft tap to center tap:14.2 ohms: from rt. tap to center tap:14.0 ohms. From end to end : .3 ohms. adding both sides is only 28ohms. this resistor is across the 2 power transformer wires that go to the filaments and heaters. with the center tap going to the large round multi tapped resistor that ohms out correcly on all taps. Its is on the lower rt.of schem. posted at start of this thread. Just wondering if I need to rewind it and if it could have caused some of the volume trouble? Thanks for any help.
