Buckingham Model 80
#1

Am restoring this radio and need information about the three section voltage divider in the power supply.
I need to know the values of all three sections of this resistor, all three are open.
I have scematics, Rider 1-7 and Beitmans pg.29 but they don't show values.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The model 227 lists the values as 6500/8000/3000, I think.

The 227 is similar to your set in that it has eight tubes, but the outputs are 45s and the RF/Detector/1stAF tubes are all 27s.

Please post link or image of schematic. Pretty rare to have entire voltage divider system open for electrical reasons, but corrosion, barn friends, etc... could be.

Nostalgia Air has the Buckingham 80 schematic. One open section was shunted with a 4K resistor another open section was shunted with an unknown value resistor, now also open. The third section is also open.
