My RCA 18T
#5

Hi Paul, we didn't get too much rain from Florence, and just some breeze, no strong wind. The past 2 days we have gotten more rain from a regular weather system than we did from the remnants of Florence. Today I replaced the last of the paper type condensers, all except for one, which is buried under the band switch. I don't want to f**k things up by trying to replace it, so I'm going to leave well enough alone until I see how the radio works when I install the last resistor, which is a 5 watt 12K carbon resistor. I'm using a 10 watt ceramic covered wire wound resistor for that. It should be here on Saturday.
