Mystery Resistor
#1

I'm hoping someone can assist me in identifying this resistor...there is no dot so I don't think it follows the body-tip-dot format. This resistor came out of a 40-190 and according to Ron's resistor page, it says that in the early 40s they changed to the modern stripe numbering scheme. The only pages I've seen though indicate that a resistor that starts with a silver band is not a valid color scheme. It could be grey I suppose.

Resistor measures 150 ohms on a voltmeter, and there are no 150 ohm resistors anywhere close on the schematic.

Thanks,
Dave

I think I figured it out...production changes indicate that in run 5 they added a resistor not shown on the diagram 33-115339 in series with the plates of the 6J8G tube (which was also a change that I see in my radio). Thanks to Ron's handy resistor translation page, this should be a 150 ohm resistor, 1/2 watt. It actually measured at 156 ohms, so pretty close to what it should be.

Give the tuner a good wash in Dawn and hot water. Then set tuner in a plastic container and cover with vinegar let soak ...David — 12:53 PM

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM

I have been playing the radio for a while now and doing well. Turned it on today and all I got was a whole lot of noise....dconant — 09:39 AM

Thanks guys. I think I'll give the Naval Jelly a try since I can better control where it goes.dconant — 09:23 AM

Just forget this number, it is useless anyway. Simply proceed with your project.morzh — 10:08 PM

My $0.02 is that it is a misprint. I tried to look up the value for the similar 84 and 37-84, and ther is no resistance...MrFixr55 — 09:51 PM

Thanks for the quick reply! Hmm...well that's good, so what am I seeing that's 1042 ohms on the schematic for the pow...Mike L — 08:46 PM

The DC resistance of the primary is 8 to 9 Ohm.morzh — 07:54 PM
