I just ordered the resistors needed to replace the Candohm, along with a few 25 pF and 500 pF mica caps. I'll also have to find a 6U5 or 6E5. This chassis has a 6T5 in it...but it is a dead tube, open filament.
While I am waiting on these parts, I should draw my own diagram so I will know how to hook up all of the wires to the volume control, and where the mica caps need to be attached.
I've junked enough Philcos that I have some very long terminal strips. I'll use one in this set for attaching the Candohm replacement resistors.
It was slow getting started, but I think I'm getting into a good groove here. When you're used to working on just Philcos, working on something from another manufacturer is a bit confusing.
