I have an Sears silvertone console with wire recorder and phono. Model 101-831-A.

After recapping the receiver section and changing out of tolerance resistors. I powered it up on the bench.

It plays on both am & FM. My question is: How much current draw should it have on the amp meter in series with the power line cord? It is reading btwn. 850mA & 900mA on the the amp. gauge. The line voltage is set to 117 V.

This is a 12 tube unit with the following tubes
2--7C7s
2--7W7s
2--7C5s
1--7A6
1--7C6
1--7N7
1--7F8
1--6AG5
1--5U4G

Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
