Restoring my 46 1226 122
#6

that resto is rather long only because i am new to tube radio restorations.
this is kinda good for me because i have not had to use component level troubleshooting since 1995, i am often finding myself embarrassed about forgetting some of the most basic things....

what does not embarrass is asking questions ,, i have never felt stupid asking questions even though i often know i am setting myself up for well deserved constructive criticism, something of which society in general really needs to resurrect because it makes us better at what we do and builds appreciative respect.

good luck with your set,, id be interested to see if you have the same issue with a particular resistor that i had where i had to mount it on the top of the chassis in order to get the plate voltages down on the push pull 6k6's...........

to this day we dont know exactly why but what i know is that particular resistor was a constant root cause for why dad had to have it and other parts repaired in the past.

that radio is lucky to have fell in my hands, and i am lucky to have found this site! there is none other like it anywhere on the planet or the web.
