model 18 no reception
#27

>I don't know how to measure them for that result
Simple way is to use an analog ohm meter connected to center and one of the end terminal on the volume control. With the meter set for the proper range the needle on the meter should move nice and smooth as you rotate the shaft on the control. If the needle moves erratically it indicates that the carbon track is worn out and will not work properly.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
