Philco model 46-1226 has been my nemesis. It was the first tube radio I ever owned. It had a bad transformer. I tried replacing the transformer, and things went real, real bad.
So, I found a donor radio and now I have a 46-1226 Code 125 chassis. I've recapped it, checked and replaced resistors. I have one open resistor. It is part number 33-1336-4. It is a 300ohm resistor. I jumpered it with a little 1/2 watt and the radio worked, but, of course, the resistor overheated.
Questions -
1. How many watts is part number 33-1336-4? It isn't listed on the parts list because the schematic is for a code 121.
2. Probably a silly question, but Code 125 was put out because Philco changed the speaker to a PM speaker. I have an extra speaker from a code 121. Is there a way to use it, and remove this resistor? I only ask because I have to order the resistor and I'd like to get this thing finished today.
Here is a copy of the code 125 put out by Philco - The resistor I need to replace is number R102
