OOOPS!!! Icon_redface

I pulled my Philco 20 chassis, and put them up side by side to start testing and comparing values.

I discovered a mis-wiring. I had to replace the dog bone resistors. I did it at the same time as re-stuffing the bakelite blocks.
I got the connections on a couple resistors wrong when reconnecting everything.  Icon_redface
I guess I'm getting old. I really need to stop working by memory and start marking everything.  Icon_crazy

She's up and running!   Icon_biggrin   Icon_thumbup

Now to align it.  Icon_wink
