| :One more thing, yeah-that resistor always confused me too, but it was in there when I got it, (check bag of old parts I included). I don't remember cracks around the screws, sounds like somebody dropped it. There is a small crack on one side, and a chip in one corner I tried to fix with super glue. :Still, it's a nice radio, and generated a couple of interesting threads here and at ARF. :Thanks again- :t. : :IPAddress: ***.28.48.106 As a follow-up Terry.. What I actually did to troubleshoot it was to place my scope probe near the oscillator coil and noticed it was not oscillating. So then I did the following: 2.) Reading the notes page I saw a blow up drawing of the oscillator coil that did clearly indicate which lugs connected to where. 3.) Traced the lug leads comparing to the blow-up drawing and noticed that two were reversed. 4. Unsoldered all 4 leads and checked the windings for continuity and saw they were both good. Then by measuring the resistance differences I was able to confirm the identity of the two windings. 5.) Rewired all 4 leads back to the coil in the proper place. 6.) Turned it on and it played fine.
