i am snowed in today so I am re-capping a Tradio for my uncle. I have a resistor with a brown body, yellow stripe, red stripe , red stripe. I only have the list for body, end , dot.
Where can I get the one for these and what is its value?
geez dude I ain't saying you gotta be able to read all that noodly stuff but cain't ya see the negative (common for all three) goes to the S1 switch or possibly a wire coming from it somewhere on some solder post?
BTW don't call them 40, 30, 20 as on the sch they are C8, A, B and C sections. This is called reference designator and those are for referring to the parts.

Again, look at the power switch (probably coupled with your volume?).
One wire goes to the power cord, another should go to the filaments' string AND to the negative of these caps.
This is NOT a hot chassis radio, and the chassis is coupled into that negative via a capacitor C16. BTW one pin of that C16 is on the chassis and another is on that negative plus power switch plus filaments.

What does it mean when it says "can is common negative? That's what the can has on it. Maybe it is not that schematic? This radio is not marked so I was going by the picture.
