Philco 40-140 Field Coil Replacement
#1

I like this 1940 wooden set, however, when I received it, I noticed that the speaker and field coil were removed. The original coil wad 1700 ohms, which I replaced with a 2k resistor, and am trying to go with a pm speaker. I get reception, but it is very low. I wonder if by upping it by 300 ohms, I overdid it, taking away the set's power. Do you think the 2k, 10w resistor is too much? Couldn't find a 1700 ohm resistor. Any assistance will be appreciated!!!
