hi ya fellas im new here fresh from audiokarma. ive recapped and rewired a zenith 5d525 and a hallicrafters sx100 some years ago. i am by no means an electronic technician although ive had some exposure in the navy repairing mobile electric power plants. i hold an ancient AMRIP e level soldering license (expired of course). ive been given this radio and am amassing parts info and reading repair threads on this forum. against my better judgement, i plugged this set in on a dim bulb tester and ill be d**ned it didnt burn up ! the bulb went semi bright (50w) and settled down i let it sit and with 20 ft of wire got on weak station!!!! judging by the FRICTION TAPE on the cord i doubt its been electrified in 50-60 yrs. any way the cabinet isnt too bad and the plywood looks like its still laminated, but ive got a few questions. i plan a recap and changeout of all the resistors. according to the parts list 1meg,4400 and 490k.4517 arent listed in the 1936 philco repair parts catalog. i'd like to know their wattages.  what i want to know besides all whats basically required for tube radio restoration what in particular MUST I DO for reliability and any upgrades from the 1934 design are welcome.
