Hey all, I finished recapping and changing resitors in a #18. I was told the radio didn't work before I got it so I didn't precheck anything before the recap as the cord was in poor condition and the chasis appeared to be complete and all original. Looking at the schematic for the 18 model, I keep burning the 200ohm part #7 after about a minute on power up. Tried swapping the R.F. tube, no change. I remove the Det. Ocillator tube #6A7 and then resistor #62 burned, #7 is still ok at this point. Before I fill the house with anymore smoke, help in a direction would be great. Sorry, I don't have a tube tester right now so I am hoping that someone with more knowledge can see something that I am missing. Let me add that I am very confident that no mistakes were made on the recap. Everything was checked and referenced at least three times before I moved on to the next.

Thanks, Don
