Rehabing 42-854 AM/SW Portable
#1

So after rebuilding the 5 section filter cap I started in on the paper caps I could get to. Most were in the power supply and audio sections. After doing that I thought I'd give her a try and see what happens. So power up and nothing. 117Z6 was doing fine and making HV but no audio at all. Checked the filament voltage and had 0. On these portable set the filament voltage is derived from the HV though a resistor divider network. Well guess what #56 was open, that's half of the divider the other half is #48. Went into the deep dark basement and found a couple of resistor that could may up to open one ( it's a power resistor about 5w or so). Clipped those in and the filament sprang to life. So now I've got audio but haven't fed any signals into the IF of mixer to hear what else is working. Started moving some coils out of the way so I can get at the last few caps and check resistors. The second pic is of #56 it's open.
