42 PT-7
#30


 I’ve gotta change at least one of the resistors in my radio and it’s obvious they didnt do this in the factory but, can I change the resistors throughout the radio I may need to change with resistors all with the same resistance in order to make life easier? I think I’m starting to get the hang of resistor and capacitor but, I’ve got a learning disability, a bit of a perception problem and math was definitely not my subject in school. With all that I’m getting easily frustrated. I could send in the chassis to get restored but, I don’t think I can afford that on my fixed income and plus I really want to learn, it’s just frustrating. If I could install capacitors and resistors that are the same value (without blowing up the radio and possibly increasing its effectiveness) that would be ideal. Especially the resistors because I’m having the most trouble now getting the band colors down and what they mean and that’s where my math fails me unfortunately. I promise I am trying guys and please don’t get frustrated with me.. That definitely won’t help
