it may sound like a lot of work but..... i think i can tell by some pics that you kept a lot of original resistors.

Actually, I replaced every single resistor on the main chassis except one, and several on the tuner sub-chassis that measured out of tolerance.

I may actually be chasing my tail now.  I had it running for a couple of hours while I was fiddling with the alignment (again).  When I shut it off I decided to get brave and carefully touch the 15k resistor.  It was on FM for quite a while so I figured it would be too hot to touch for more than a split second but it really didn't seem that hot.  I'll try it again the next time I have it running but if it really isn't that hot I can't explain how it could be dropping 151v, which means it's dissipating 1.5W, and not be quite hot.

But now I have another problem  [Image: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/icons/sad.gif]  I'm not getting anything but a nasty sound through the mixer/oscillator.  I need to get this thing working and leave it alone  LOL.  It does something different every time I work on it!

I think I'll think about that one while I remove the dial backplate and paint it.  I put some tape on it so I could mark various points on the dial and when I removed some of the tape some of the paint came with it.

   

I experimented with several different types of paint and it looks like Rustoleum Copper comes closest to matching.
