Hi Guys,


I have an interesting problem this time. I Did a full recap on this AM/FM radio, along with a complete tube and resistor check. I got it all together and had it up in the kitchen where I've been listening to it for a couple weeks. I was listening to it the other day when all of a sudden the volume dropped and I had no sound on either band. Well, back to the bench. I plugged my iphone and was able to hear it just fine. Put the band switch back to AM or FM and nothing.
The weird thing is that one resistor-R16 a 1K, was starting to smoke. I swapped out the 6X5 but it didn't help. I retested all connections and they all look good. Any ideas? (35WG and 25WG)
