Philco Wirewound Resistor Question
#7

I tested it and the 60 ohm section was fine but the 100 ohm tested at 117 ohms.  Still within a 20% tolerance but I don't want to have to deal with it later on down the line if it becomes an issue.

I know some of you guys don't like to hear this but when I repair a radio I tend to use the "shotgun" approach for resistors and paper capacitors, replacing all of them.  Mainly because I do not want to have to dig back into a set once it is fixed but also, to properly test most resistors you need to unsolder one end.  Since I'm half way there already I just follow through and unsolder the other end.

Please don't beat me up too much on this approach guys  Icon_biggrin .
