ok,,
on pin 3 i have about 283vdc,,
on pin 4 of both 6k6's i have around 254vdc,, all good to the info you gave me.,, matches my print as well.
of all the resistors i ordered, this one i had laying around worked out best. its 611ohms total.
wired it in and placed it outside among the tubes. there were two convienent holes already waiting for me to mount this resistor right where there are no other components below it. seemed like the radio was trying to tell me something,, like "put that resistor here!"
During long operation of radio i can still touch the resistor and not get the ouch factor till about 5 seconds so its doing its job wicking heat.
funny story last night....
we watched Dr Who around 11pm then i went out around midnight to piddle some more. I had no shortwave!!!!!!!
im like,, what the heck happened. due to my inexperience, the obvious was the last thing i thought of. since my Philco has SW band of 9.3 to about 15.5KC,, after an hour of troubleshooting and worrying, it occured to me.... humm maybe theres's nothing on right now.! I was right. My hallicrafters goes from like 1.8kc to about 38kc so i compared and sure enough nothing was on.
got up this morning to let a stupid PITA cat out at 7am and decided to check again,, SW coming in strong.
now i need to buy a dial glass and a needle, then toss it back into the cabinet. Gather my notes and diagrams and store them in the cabinet for my boys to use about a half century from now. I might in some time in the future decide to get the turn table working as well, would need a record for it,, i think its a 78 turntable?
