I replaced my fake dog bone resistors, #11 (16k) with a 5 watt resistor. I also replaced #9 back to a 9k resistor, also at 5 watts. After a good warm up , all voltages were relatively the same as before. Both of these resistors also get quite warm, but I feel better not having them hidden inside a painted plastic tube. I also have a 13k 3 watt that I want to try at the #9 position as before to see if there is any "performance' difference.
I have two caps to replace in my VTVM, and then I'd like to re-measure these voltages. The radio is working fine, however, today there is a quick pop, pop, pop sound in the audio every 10 seconds or so. Not sure if this is just interference or not once I get it out of the basement away from the florescent lights.
