Another resistor ID needed/RESOLVED
#12

This mystery resistor has been resolved. While the 18 code 121 shows resistor #35 to be .1 meg, that same resistor on the code 124 is .5 meg. So, while mine is a code 121, for whatever reason, #35 was a .5 meg. I'm going to make it a .5 meg, although someone more leaned than me explained it this way:

Quote:35 is definitely not a critical value. Along with a capacitor this is just part of an anti-hum filter for the bias voltage coming in to the 2nd detector. I suspect you would have a hard time telling any difference all the way from 47K to 1 Meg. If it was too low you might get some audio hum.

Now I won't need those 2 aspirins!

Thank you sir. Yes I feel good and also relieved because this one's been weighing on me a bit.Stormlord5500 — 11:18 AM

it certainly won't be metric! SAE threads were all that was known then. Take care, - GaryGarySP — 10:58 AM

I think this thing is way more accurate than my Walmart DMM. :DStormlord5500 — 08:19 AM

Thankyou for the kind words sir. I double checked it with my component tester and it read 2.7 ohms at .02mH.Stormlord5500 — 08:14 AM

Hello bridKarl, that sounds right or maybe 8/32 . Sincerely Richardradiorich — 01:00 AM

Have this done except for missing chassis screws. It looks like 1 inch 6/32 sheet metal screw may work but can anyone s...bridkarl — 10:32 PM

Hello Stormlord, Well done on rewinding that coil it turned fairly good for your first one. Sincerely Richardradiorich — 09:12 PM
