35WG-1570B
#4

OK, here's what I did. I tested the cap, IF trans and resistor. They all tested good, each one was removed from the circuit for testing. So I put it all together and with all tubes out except the 6X5 (the way I ran all tests). I ran up the voltage slowly, watching the resistor in question for any smoke. Got it up to about 110v with no smoke or heat. After about a minute of this there was a spark under the area of the tuning cap. No smoke or flame (Wow, I sound like kirk). I figured I can't hurt it anymore so I killed the power and installed the tubes. I ran the power up and after a few minutes the radio was working fine. No, I haven't checked where the spark came from, but I will. Thanks to everyone for your help.
