37-620 Mystery Part - Value?
#4

Thanks for the tip on the CHANGES document!

How do you know what CODE (121,124 etc) and RUN number you have? There is no indication on the chassis or cabinet labels as to CODE. The serial number is S58653. On the FRONT of the chassis there are some ink stamps: 724 18 0(?). On the side is the letter "D". There is a pencil mark on the side of the chassis that MAY be a 3. But that's all I could find.

Based on the part parts numbers of the IF cans and filter caps, it appears I have a CODE 121. And the first change listed mentioning parts 34 and 35 I also appear to have. Part 35 is definitely 30-4446, .25mfd. Part 34 (the original question) is likely FADED VIOLET rather than RED (700 ohms not 200 ohms). That makes sense, since it measures about 800 ohms which is in tolerance and I can leave it alone (I like to keep things as original as possible). The change from 400 ohms (bakelite) to 700 ohms was apparently made at the same time part 35 was changed from .05 to .25mfd.

Thanks for the help!
