I have a 46-480 radio that I have been working on for a while. When I got the radio, it did not work and I found a burned up resistor. In the Philco service manual it is R308 and R17 in the schematic published by Rider. The value is 1K and it looked like a 1/4 watt size. It was replaced with a 1 watt resistor. The radio was completely recapped and the tubes tested. I can tune in AM stations but the resistor gets very hot and starts to smell after a minute or 2. The radio also motorboats if I turn the volume up too high.

Any thoughts on what could be causing the resistor to continue to burn up?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just to make sure, you chose either 4 ohm into 5K or into 10K? (blk-org or blk-grn)morzh — 06:23 PM
