1936? model 84 resistor
#17

Have you rewound the ant and the osc coil yet??? On most of those sets (80,84,and 37-84) the primary on the ant coil is open and the tickler winding on the osc coil is open. Both can be rewound with 32-38ga magnet wire. Seems like both are about 20 turns.Also check all of the resistors there's a couple of 1meg jobs that are usually bad. Most of the time your better off just replace all of the 1/2watt ones. It will save you time troubleshooting. The IF alignment is fairly critical on these sets for good performance. If you've got a generator go ahead and peak them up if not don't mess with them. Fix those and the darn thing will play like crazy!!

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
