zenith chassis #1oo4
#8

Those Zenith xfmrs do run hot and 20 ohms should have taken you down to a safer voltage range. Many folks have abnormally high house voltage (125+) but if you can get the voltage down to say 110-115 via the resistor then it shouldn't stand out as being hotter than any other radio. Measurements with a meter will tell the story. Shouldn't take as much as 150 ohms, but... It all depends on your starting point whether or not you need to drop that much.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
