46-1201 model 128 restore and question
#1

Hi everyone,newbie with a question or two. I'm working on my second radio a 46-1201 model 128. First was a Canadian 706a. The 706a was just a recap and refinishing the case and it was fine. This one isn't so easy. Must have been sitting in a pretty damp spot because the bottom cover was destroyed and the bottom edge of the phono had spots rusted rusted away...like where the feet screw on. So i cut the rust out and welded in some steel i cut from some brackets i got from home depot.

The case is pretty much done,

unfortunately couldn't find the proper grill cloth.The turntable is almost done and rebuilt the cartridge.

This is the problem,

I can't tell by the diagrams i have with updates if it's a capacitor or resistor. I'm not a total newb at reading schematics but i definitely could have missed something.Looking at resistor and capacitor charts(white,brown,black,brown,black) it's either a 0.0001mfd cap or 910 ohm resistor...maybe.

This is how it looked originally(the number 1),

The blue line is where it should be. Any ideas??
Oh, and when plugged in there is no output from the speaker and all the tubes are getting power. Thanks in advance.
