filter resistors recently overheated.

part #60 (61?) slide resister.

Any suggestions as to cause? filter caps bad?

power transformer bad?

rectifier?

Please help!

Hi Dennis

Shorted filer caps will overheat power resistors. Be sure to replace filter caps before trying to operate the radio.

Power transformer is ok if it doesn't overheat after filter caps have been replaced. A shorted rectifier tube will damage the transformer but not usually a power resistor. Check the rectifier for shorts. This radio uses a 6X5G which is known for shorting.
