I may have goofed...
#5

Chuck- I went through and looked over all the values obtained... I am certainly learning from my mistakes...

Always "read" resistor codes when received
Always double check values to be ordered twice before ordering, and again when received.
Don't get your bare arm too close to a nicely warmed tube.(That one didn't need much discussion...)
Keep pointy tools, such as solder picks, away from where they might puncture speakers. Alternately, keep speakers from where they might get punctured, or make a cardboard protector plate.


I'm still populating the list, but the next radio should go smoother!(I have to recap a simple Motorola for my best friend- payment for the 46-1203 he gave me...) Then I have to decide which radio to tackle next, while I listen to the 37-650 playing...

Old Cars, Old Radios, Old Pipes and Young Women... What more is there?
