That clears up my confusion. Admittedly I’ve only done one other radio - Sparton 617 - that was old enough to use this candleohm setup. In that case it was just swapping out the caps so I didn’t think much about what was happening.
The oldest radio I have actually is an RME-69. I actually own two - I saved one from a Miami Florida landfill. And I also have the speaker plus the preselector. At some point I’m going to get that finished and setup with my 1939 Hallicrafters HT-5 transmitter. Picked that up a few years ago - never seen another anywhere.
My retirement project will be a 1930s AM phone station.

Thanks so much.
