I wound up replacing the resistor in the bakelite block with a 1 watt I had on hand.  Icon_thumbup
This block and 1 other were done last night.
Electrolytics were replaced today.
I did a quick check of the transformer, some of the coils, and all the resistors.
All checked out, so I decided to turn it on, running it through my variac.

Here's a video I shot during the 1st power up test. All stations came in where they should on the dial.  Icon_thumbup
